While i was out i thought of a way to weight the different voices:
George (essentialist): bad guy Thessaly (essentialist): not a true bad guy, but not a sympathetic character at all Wanda (non-essentialist): unreservedly one of the good guys, and a very sympathetic character
It's just that a lot of readers seem to think that George, in explaining that Thessaly, the moon, and the gods all hold the essentialist view, and the fact that the plot follows the essentialist course, is speaking with the authorial voice.
