Week 11 Assignment
The easy half of it is greed. The mother’s greed, coupled with the boy’s intensity and desire to please her, drive his frenzy and are his undoing. But there must be more…
It is always talking of Paul’s eyes. Blue, cold fire.
She does grow anxious about him. The quote about their being a gambling family – “you won’t know ‘til you grow up how much damage it has done” – is especially poignant. They are dressed in green, her in green and crystal, in the revelation scene. Haha.
It is futility, somewhat…somewhat. Money does nothing for the house where there isn’t love. The boy rides, works passionately, to please her and fix the house – but luck can’t do it. Nothing can. Not even the shock of his death.
I don’t know…I can’t solve it. If I were to stare at the taxonomy for a while, I perhaps could. But not now. Haven't time.
I am tired.
