Indyk attempts to show how â the recognition of complexity and diversity is at the same time an assertion of the principles of social equalityâ . Because Tom Collins attributes value to the smallest objects in the novel, refusing to implement a hierarchy, he becomes the person most able to interpret the diversity of the bush. The diversity of his social â partsâ allows no escape from the claims of social equality and moral responsibility
