In Douglas Coupland’s, Girlfriend in a Coma, Coupland suggests that solely existing is not sufficient and that destiny is not something that occurs naturally, but it is “what we work toward” (6). By creating destiny and helping others create theirs, one is able to make an impact on the world for generations to come. Throughout the novel, Coupland suggests that the world has become a more materialistic place and that people are no longer concerned with improving themselves spiritually but only becoming more acceptable to others. The purpose of life seems to have diminished in modern day society; people’s actions are influenced only by what judgement will come from others and how large the immediate benefit is.

Gretel treats Bruno like he is stupid by the way she talks to him; “How would you know? When you get to my age you’ll understand things a lot better.” When Gretel first peered out of Bruno’s bedroom window and sees the Jews, she questions “who are they?” She stood for a long time staring at the people on the other side of the fence then after a while she finally said “this must be the countryside as they must be farmers” For the remainder of the book she no longer asked about or appears to think about the people again.
