A soft voice suddenly whispered from behind: “Don’t turn around. There’s still a chance for you to get away. You don’t belong here. If it’s discovered it will go hard with you”
This quote states that it was obvious that he was an outsider of the cult and completely clueless of the activities that were about to take place while also describing the danger that Fridolin was about to face. Even after he was warned about the danger of his uninvited visit, he stood still and became more intrigued of this underground world and careless of the consequences that were about to develop.
The reason I chose this passage is because it shows how one can put everything on the line for a minute of thrill and excitement. Once one become enchanted with the dark secrets of a cult or society we lose the concept of life not caring about anything leading to deception and self destruction. It is within our nature as humans become intrigued with the unforbidden, the dark side of life, to play the game of life and death regardless of the consequences of the choices made.
I like you thoughts about you quote. I was surprised that he was actually staying there and trying to become the hero. If I was in this place I would have left as soon as the women warned him that he and her could be is great danger.
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised as to how he thought that the warning he got he thought was just a "test" to see if he can become a part of the private club or not. Every time the woman came behind behind him to warn him, he thought she was testing his courage. I agree with you about the fact that how one can sacrifice his family for a moment of thrill as you stated. People sometimes sacrifice things they they cannot let go of or afford to lose,but people are sometimes put under a will of wanting to experience something just out of curiosity, but they don't really know what they are really getting themselves into.
ReplyDeleteI would have left the scene too but when one becomes intrigued of their sorroundings it is difficult to leave the scene..
