A Priest in Jail
In the last pages read, I realized that there was a lot of symbolism hidden in this part of the book. The contrast between good and evil or better said, hollyness and unhollyness is very visible when the priest is locked up in jail. I think that they auther shows a comparison between, the example of life that religion teaches and the cruel realities that one can expirience in jail. Also the obsenities that the priest sees are mind blowing for a man of the church. Then the priest reveals he's identity to the inmates in jail. I found this interesting because he actually trusts in people that are evil sadistic maniacs but since the are in the same situation, I think that the priest considers to be part of their social outcast. Then we can see an unordinary sense of good and evil. There is a priest and a religious women in jail because of their belives but neither of them are what they seem. The priest hiding he's true identity and is going against everything he stands for. The women on the other hand doesn't really make sense and contradicts herself. So with this being said, I realized that the auther isn't showing us black and white anymore but is showing us the grey perspective of life.

I agree with you about the symbolic aspect of much of the novel. Furthermore, I think the key point of this novel is grey! Life is grey!
I only wished you had inserted some text and proofread your entry.
