Charlie tries to avoid or escape finding his own identity by adopting other people's identity and passing it off as his own; in Part One, Chapter Four Charlie is modeling himself as a David Bowie-style musician. Helen is desperately seeking for something to attach herself to so that she can escape the roles that her parents are trying to impose on her.
