Hoke cannot fathom Miss Daisy's inability to grasp the social changes that are sweeping the South in the 1960s, nor can Miss Daisy understand why Hoke's "people" are so indignant. It is only when Hoke is retired and Miss Daisy is confined to a home for the elderly that the two fully realize that they've been friends and kindred spirits all along.
