Entery NUmber: 19
Page/Quote reflecting on: Pgs. 112-113
I find it interesting how Esther is facinated by the two lines of dried blood that Marco wiped on her face and doesn't want to wash it off. But what's even more interesting is that Holden Caufield in
The Catcher in the Ryewas a little like this too. "It partly scared me and it partly fascinated me. All that blood and all sort of made me look tough." (45-46)That was Holden's response to it all. Esther's was more girly. "They seemed touching, and rather spectacular, and I thought I would carry them around with me, like the relic of a dead lover, till they wore off of their own accord." There are actually a lot of similarities between Holden and Esther. They are both somewhat hypocrites, both lie a lot, both don't know how to fit into society, and other things as well. They are both peculiar characters.
