The Supernatural

There are many different themes that have surfaced so far in my reading of this  work. You have the intellectuals being attacked (as Caleb talked about in his blog), you have the absurdities like the cat and various senseless events, but the primary theme that I've recognized and analyzed is the presence of the supernatural.

...the ironic part is that the supernatural is right in the middle of an atheistic culture. Satan and his comrades are literally attacking this culture that does not even affirm their existence. There are prophecies fulfilled and apparitions appearing and vanishing and cats paying tolls all within a realm of disbelief. I'm so anxious to see how this theme continues and what the final opinion of the supernatural will be in this atheistic culture. 


P.S. I commented on Caleb's blog.

    The idea of the supernatural is definitely prominent, as you said. I also enjoy the idea of Satan attacking in the midst of an atheistic culture. It is indeed a little different than I am used to seeing in stories, movies, etc... I am with you; I can't wait to see what happens. Also, I love the way that the idea of hiding in plain sight is displayed through the deceiving "stranger." It adds to the feeling of suspense and the unknown/ supernatural.
