After one hundred and fifty pages, the Master has finally been brought into existence in my readings. And I must say, he may turn out to be my favorite character of this book for one reason: He forms the foundation for the reality of what is happening in this book. His recounting of his own strange occurrences affirms, for me, the creditability of these character's claims of the supernatural occurring. One could say that the characters have simply had mental breakdowns or it was hypnosis and all the things that have happened were merely fantasies. However, the Master is the only character so far that can be spoken to about these events without the speaker, such as Homeless, being judged as a madman, because he can relate to Homeless' story. Also, his tragic love story was a nice touch as well.
I commented on Travis' post.
I agree! The master seems to be the only one who is able to understand what is happening is actually reality.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well, and the master is, so far, my second favorite character. This was also the most interesting of the chapters.
