Questions this week:
At one point Carmen says to Gen, "'Ask yourself, would it be so awful if we all stayed here in this beautiful house?'"And towards the end of the story it is stated: "Gen knew that everything was getting better and not just for him. People were happier." Messner then says to him, "'You were the brightest one here once, and now you're as crazy as the rest of them'" . What do you think of these statements? Do you really believe they would rather stay captive in this house than return to the "real" world?

On some level, the key characters were not happy with their lives, and in a way, being held hostage was an escape from their real worlds.
agree with anonymous. Gen with all
his talents was a #2 man in real life and here he rose to the occasion and
also found love.
