I have to disagree massimo. I hated this short story, and the psychological portrait it paints. But I will try to answer your questions nevertheless.<br><br>May initially holds onto Marcher to find out what catastophic occurance will end his life. She is interested, perhaps even fixated, and cannot pull herself away. She then becomes a victim of his own downfall, and is pulled in. As he begins to take her with him, she can no longer escape and is fully immersed in his world.<br><br>As for his language, it was simply his style. He wrote with this great, yes I will congratulate him on this, imagery throughout his works. It is one thing I must applaud him on.
