"Talk Talk" indicates a double meaning both in spoken word and action, demonstrating a type of duality that exists in all of us. The dichotomy here is that a criminal like Peck Wilson and schoolteacher like Dana Halter have more in common than they?d like to think. Peck has a life where people believe him to be a successful man with excellent taste, but underneath it all he?s a fraud who?ll eventually be exposed. Dana remains torn between accepting her deafness and wanting others to do the same, yet she gets angry when she can?t camouflage it in a way that makes others think she?s just like them. In "Talk Talk", Boyle addresses why we want acceptance and how we go about attaining it. All too often we base our identity on the way others view us when our human instincts tell us otherwise. Whether we?re deaf or defeated it doesn?t change the fact that our identity remains a crucial part of our life and when it?s altered in any way, we become vulnerable, leaving one?s faith in humanity to see each of us for who we really are.
