~grace t. boone~ *I’m very sorry for the late response ~In this section, the difference in style appears to be a third person narrative of the previous “Don Giovanni” poem. When you flip back and forth to the Poem and the Journal; there’s a pattern in which the Poem expresses more of the sexual pleasures that the couple experienced, as the Journal is more detailed of the environment and the different people that were involved and the way they were affected by their surroundings. Even through a more detailed narrative, I was still sort of skeptical as to what everything was supposed to reveal. There still seemed to be something that this section lacked, like the sense of a complete truth. Just like the Poem this section also seemed to jump from different events, just like the way a scene is shot in a film that foreshadows an event or back flashes to another event. For example in the beginning, where the girl starts off hurriedly rushing through a forest trying to hide and run away from soldiers, sees a little boy covered in blood, tries to open a trapdoor, and while furiously tugging at the iron ring, she ends up in a train with a ticket collector nudging her, and she discovers that she simply has her hand on the iron ring of her handbag. Even from explaining exactly how and what was happening, it hasn’t truly revealed the true meanings of why these things were happening and in what sequence. Was her terrifying “daydream” an event from the past or foreshadowing the future, how could her subconscious conjure up such a frightening scene? I’m sure all this will be made more sense of throughout the chapters of the book, or at least I hope it will, because I’ve become very curios how this story will end. There is no doubt that there may be a little twist in the end that will reveal everything, yet throw off everyone. (Reply to this) (Thread)
