Throughout the novel, Clara places a great deal of importance on Truth. However, at the end of Chapter 26, she states in regard to Carwin, "Such is his tale, concerning the truth of which I care not." Has she given up on the power/justness of truth, or is there something else behind her statement? Is Brown making a statement on Truth here?

Answer:

The answers are to be found in the word concerning

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the word concerning is used as a preposition, meaning something like: on the subject of, or in connection with.

So Clara has not given up on the power/justness of truth; she does show that she doesn´t agree at all with Carwin´s idea of truth. I don´t believe that Brown makes a statement on Truth, he rather pictures the disagreement on the topic of truth between the two.
