The works of Griffin Moss and Sabine Strohem are very different at the beginning. Griffin’s arts are very structures, neat and they make sense. Sabine’s arts are more sketchy and random. As they talk to each other more and more often, their styles have changes. Sabine’s arts start to make sense, and become neater. However, Griffin’s arts become crazy and sketchy. Also, the changes of their styles reflect their frame of minds. At the beginning, Sabine and her words come from nowhere while Griffin is being very logical. Later on, Griffin is influenced by Sabine, and he becomes all messed up while Sabine starts to control the situation.
For the ending, I think Griffin Moss is kidnapped by Sabine Strohem. As they get to know each other better and better, Sabine has been watching Griffin. She knows everything about him. When she knows that Griffin plans to forget about her, she gets so upset because she falls in love with him. She goes to his studio, replies his postcard which has not been sent. Then, in order to have him all by herself, she takes him away and puts all the letters and postcards on the ceiling.
Sheri, I have the same point of view for the relationship between Griffin and Sabine at the first. I felt like there must be something happen between them. And I was not sure if she is falling love with him or she is just curious about Griffin.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what Sheri said about the drawings and their evolution over the course of the story. I think they both began to resemble the other artist's aesthetic and the postcard's began to get more and more simular.
ReplyDeleteHowever I disagree with your conclusion that Sabine kidnapped Griffin. I think that Sabine was a figment of Griffin's imagination and that he suffered from a multiple personality disorder. Towards the end of the story the two personalities begin to combine until finally Griffin goes completley crazy.
