Sophie is David's friend, which is significant because she is someone that his father would reject, and partially how he learns to think about mutations as being okay. Her discovery, and the capture of her family made an impact on David's childhood.

Later, when he meets her again, she has been abused and sterilized, but she still loves him. He has led a more privileged life and has moved on, and meeting again is awkward and probably hard for both parties, but obviously so for Sophie.

She is killed in the final battle, as is David's father and the Spider Man, thus providing an easy out for the Zealander's genocide... no one is left that David knew well or loved.

Why are the Wenders important in the Chrysalids novel?

The Wender parents are important because their daughter Sophie is a mutant (with an extra toe on each foot). Sophie is important because she is the first mutant David (the main character) sees as a person. He even becomes friends with her. When a local boy sees Sophie's foot, she and her family must run, and this causes David to consider what would happen to Sophie if she was caught. He worries that she would be executed like the animal mutants are. Later on, when David, Rosalind and Petra have fled to the Fringes, they meet Sophie and through her learn of the horrors of Fringe life.

Which characters were mother-like to David in the Chrysalids?

Sophie's mother was a mother-figure in David's life, and the fact that he would rather live with their family than his own is illustrated in the fact that he asks them if he can go with them when they flee. David's aunt is a mother-figure to him as well. When she comes to visit her sister, he says that she has the features of his mother, but softened... the way that he wishes his mother to be. He sees that she cares about her child despite a defect, and he suspects that his own mother will not. Rosalind is sort of a mother-figure in that she tries to take care of him and wakes him up to save his life, in the place of his own mother who should be doing such things. Sophie could also be called a mother-figure because she saves his life and selflessly gives him up to save him.


What does the inspector accuse David of doing in the Chrysalids?

The inspector confronts him about Sophie, telling him that it is against the rules to hide deviants, etc... so perhaps that: hiding Sophie. He never gets accused of being a telepath, because he has already run away at that point.
