Melaquiades and Prudencio complain about the burden of solitude in being dead but are apparently able to talk to other dead people...

"Thus they went on living in a reality that was slipping away, momentarily captured by words"-related to how Marquez skews reality w/ words?

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

@english347_ I think Marquez signifies Rebecca's importance through the muliple obstacles that prolong Amarata's murder plans

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

Interesting that when Prudencio reappears after many years, JAB isn't annoyed with his presence but rather weeps for his loss #insomnia

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

Despite the many sexual escapades that occur, true love and lasting partnership seem just out of reach for the characters #why

JAB:

"His eyes beg you to forgive him because he can't forgive himself" #Danny #deep

"But I'm not an animal--or a fish." #faulknerreference?

Ethan's growing relationship with Margie makes me very wary

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

I find it really interesting how open yet secretive Ethan is

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

Guess: Maybe one of the keys to Ethan's person is how he feels no remorse over killing "the Germans" #cold #incongruency

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

Ethan seems to avoid important conversations with people by reasoning that they probably already know the information he would say

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

wishing the 4 o'clock trick worked for me...

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

@CollinsENGL347 YES.

@hjerpe347 I feel like Lee is the closest version of human perfection Steinbeck presents

@abosteen347 I think his obsession with the promise is his selfish way of making her death into his duty, just another burden

[Emma Smith @emmasmith347]

@dita347 definitely #stucksosexuallyexploring

I wonder how the dynamic of the family would be different if Dewey Dell wasn't the only daughter....

Reading for the second time and stick struck by the grotesque imagery/ideas #nailincoffin #deadfish #ansehasnoteeth #shivers
