Ambiguidade auto-induzida

In retrospect, it seems clear that Alicia’s character was fascinating, in part, because her selective approach to self-knowledge raised questions about our own inner lives. To what degree are we, like Alicia, lawyers who “zealously represent” ourselves to ourselves by carefully managing how much we know about who we are and what we’ve done? Are we obligated to know, and admit to knowing, everything about our own lives and characters? Or is it better, and smarter, to nurture ambiguity, performing innocence through artful ignorance?
