Caelum

Caelum seems to be very dull and much like everyone else. He is typical teacher just trying to make his way through life. You don't ever see emotion until the scene of him and Maureen's fight. Even then he is upset and then gets over it with a beer. Caelum has a grandmother who lives in Colorado who just had a stroke. Maureen tells him that he should go visit her to bring her comfort. Against his wishes he catches a flight out to see her. Instead of going to the hospital right when he lands, her heads over her to ranch.  After scurring around in the house and feeding the cat, he makes his way to the hospital. There he finds his grandmother unconsious. You do not see him get upset here either, but he does make an attempt to brush her hair. As soon as he is done brushing her hair her eyes open as if she comprehends that he is there. Shortly after Caelum leaves, and then twenty minutes later she dies. As Caelum is in Colorado that is when the shooting takes place. The troubles do not effect him until his wife goes to prison and he is engulfed with lonliness. This is when you see Caelum search for a real purpose in life; GOD. At the beginning I didn't care much for Caelum, I hated how he treated Maureen. As the story wrapped up however; I begin to understand that he just didn't know any better and didn't know his true purpose in life.
