The Macabre...
In chapter five everyone is singing a song about the Macabre which turns out to be a big party in the town square, and the dead dance with the living. This chapter kind of confused me because i thought that the living could not see the dead,but obviously they can see them to dance with them. Bod dances with Liza and the Gray Lady which is the lady that rides her horse and represents death. The next day everyone asks as if that never happened and Bod doesn't understand why. He goes to Silas, but Silas won't even talk much about it to him. To me this whole Macabre Dance seems like something almost like magic or something. What do you think of the Macabre? Do you think everyone really doesn't remember it or is just hiding it for a certain reason?

In my opinion, everyone is just hiding it. I'm not really sure why though. Maybe it's because it is totally insane to believe that humans and ghosts can actually dance together or possibly that they consider it a social blunder to interact with a completely opposite kind. I'm rather curious for this answer as well. Good blog Ash!
ReplyDeleteI want to think that everyone is hiding the fact that they remember. The whole thing seemed like tons of fun, and it would be kind of sad if they had no recollection of the happy memory.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone does remember. If it is such a special day that everyone goes to, then how could they all forget?
