As
I’m finishing the book and I’m about to put it down I am left with a thousand
questions, in the middle of my confusion, once again, I go to my last resource “sparknotes.com”
I read the chapter summaries, but when I’m about to read chapter 6’s summary I
decide to read it from the book one more time. I am more confused than ever,
well at this point I’m not sure if I’m confused or I can’t process the end…
All
this reading for such an end… we are left with such a big question??? Who was
the crier??? Oedipa went through this entire journey, she was about to lose it,
and when she finally thought she found a final answer, when she was about to
reach the light at the end of the tunnel, she’s wrapped in another mystery…who
is the damn crier?? He or she has all the answers she’s been looking for.
I
think in the end all the people she trusted and tried to help her knew who the
crier was, they knew all the answers; however this was something she had to go
through and solve by herself. They played with her and I think it was all
Pierce’s plan. I don’t even think he’s dead. I admire her for not losing it;
she kept herself together even though she stumbled towards the end. She found
out about the auction and goes…and that’s where the story ends with a thousand
questions in the reader’s mind.
