Kint erects a giant question-mark sculpture in the town square, encouraging citizens to question belief, dogma, and certainty itself. But people object; some find it unsettling, others say it invites doubt, and still others think it’s simply ugly. It’s replaced with an exclamation mark, meant to inspire enthusiasm and decisiveness. That too provokes complaints. One symbol follows another, each rejected for new reasons. Finally, the square is given a single, simple period: a statement so small and quiet that nobody can quite agree what it means, and maybe that’s the point.
