The Blind Leading the Blind

As I read this book I was highly fascinated by the bright imagery and unconventional characteristics of both Griffin and Sabine. I found the suspense behind the story increased with each bit of their correspondence. Although it may take one merely minutes to read the entirety of this book, the messages found in between the lines of the narrative take ages to intreperate. I found the postcard titled "The Blind Leading the Blind" to be incredibly interesting. The front of the postcard depicts an ugly mess of blind, recently hatched, hungry birds therefore presenting the reader with an almost direct representation of Griffin at this stage of his correspondence with Sabine. In reading the text on the back of the postcard the reader can gather that Griffin has reached the climax of his dependence upon Sabine. He has turned to anger and frustration in order to help cope with the lonliness and confusion he feels. He says, "I guess I finally snapped." This postcard reveals the most literal representation of the idea that Griffin is losing his mind. His plea for a photograph from Sabine verifies the concept that Griffin was becoming aware of his own mental instabilities and beginning to face the truth that Sabine did not exist.
