Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger asked Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger:

The Reschen Valley Series – Jutta, Angelo and Katharina are all struggling with the rapid changes taking place in the throes of the world’s industrial and political revolutions. What are their different strategies in handling those changes, and how successful are they?

Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger Jutta can come across as being pretty confrontational, and therefore, pretty emotional. She puts a lot of value on power and access to information. One of her symbols is the key chain. Having all those keys in her possession, gives her a sense of security and importance. But what would happen if one of those keys were taken away from her? You’d find that out soon enough if you keep reading. Then we see a different kind of Jutta; one who can quickly stick her head in the sand and wait until the danger has passed.

Angelo’s aim is to do the right thing. By everyone. And when that’s not working, his strategy is to lie to himself: he lies about what he has done, he lies about what he really wants, he lies about his abilities to keep up with those changes, he even lies about the motivations for his actions. That does not mean he does not try, but the system is moving much faster than he can react. In the face of failure, he’s quick to lie and/or flee the scene.

Katharina on the other hand is trying terribly hard to juggle everything by urging harmony within the environment around her. She wants to make sure that everyone is okay, and tends to lose sight of her needs and desires in the process. She values a calm, peaceful approach to confrontations and conflicts and does not understand when someone does not want to approach opposing issues in the same manner as she. She is quick to retreat in the face of violence especially outside of her own immediate circle. She’s a nurturer, seeks a way to find resolutions in a peaceful manner.
