The Gastein Journal was basically the poems in Don Giovanni, except the Gastein Journal was more detailed and wasn't wirtten in that woman's perspective. I had a better understanding after i read The Gastein Journal. i thought pages 47-51 were unique because they had postcards from people who stayed at The White Hotel. It was cool because it allowed us as the readers, to see/get an idea how they felt about some events, to whom they were writing to, what they decided to write about, etc. i really enjoyed reading these few pages. i still don't get the beginning of The Gastein Journal though. Pages 31 and most of 32 puzzle me. i don't get how that goes or ties in with anything. Maybe i'll find out later in the book. Lots happened in The Gastein Journal. It talked about the train trip with one of Freud's son and that one widowed lady, they both go to the white hotel, every one there seemed to love sex as much as Frued's son and the widowed lady, there's a scene were Madame Cottin joined Frued's son and widowed lady in sex, there's another scene where Frued's son is sucking the widowed lady's nipple while the priest is sucking the other one, there's another seem where the japanese girl talked about her and the major dude and the nun apologizing for interrupting them, plus many more sexual scenes. It didn't come to a surprise to me what the nun said to the japanese girl and major because all that was going on was kinda bad yet others viewed everything as being okay. White is usually a color of purity. i think it's weird how although many people are happy and loving life at The White Hotel, there's still many bad and sadden accidents that occur in The White House. The flood, the fire, the mudslid, etc. are some events that happened. (Reply to this) (Thread)
