Edwin was a neglected child in his infancy. now, at 31 years of age, he is highly cynical about the world and feels that no one can be relied upon. whenever he is in a relationship with a woman, he has tremendous feelings of suspicion toward his partner, and these feelings eventually lead to the breakup of the relationship. according to erikson's psychosocial theory, this is a good indication that edwin did not successfully resolve the stage of development, which in turn is causing him to experience in his current developmental stage.

I believe the answer is: Trust versus mistrust; isolation

trust versus mistrust happens since early interraction between the child and the caregiver. not resolving trust versus mistrust makes edwin tend to hard to put his trust on people that has similar characteristics with the caregiver that let him down .

This would eventually lead to the feeling of isolation since every individuals crave a certain level of intimacy and yet Edwin cannot trust a person enough to be intimate, which trap him in a vicious cycle.

the language of nature was a manifestation from god as he said "let there be light" and there was light the world began to assume visible, comprehensible form.

what ever we know now think of the old vision of creation we can be sure that with out the speaking of word -without language- we would have no science today with its striking power to illuminate the world.
