Oh this was beautiful. In just a couple of sentences, Pat managed to not only throw out that Clarice is a freakin sociopath, but also drive a nicely insidious wedge between her and the rogue ghosts by insinuating that they'd like to be rid of her and have the option of dropping her off with the Program. Whether true or not (and i seem to remember it being true but am too lazy for an archive delve today) that's a fantastic chunk of doubt to give them. TLDR - making Clarice second-guess her ghosts is AWESOME. |

Well, Henry did circumvent Clarice to talk to Smithback once already, didn't he? I should think that means there wasn't a whole lot of trust going on there in the first place. Couple things I'm wondering about lately, though it may be a little off topic. Pat has said that scars last longer, a sentiment I thoroughly agree with. And someone already said that Stalin and Hitler were sun-bright powerful beings, raging in their tombs. That kinda suggests to me that Hitler and Stalin were incarcerated. Is such a thing possible? Can one ghost harm another? Was it their own crimes that entombed Hitler and Stalin? And would Clarice's crimes damn her in the same way? |

If you can't live without me, why aren't you dead yet? I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too. If God wants all the credit, he's getting all the blame. | |

No - I think the reason she found them in their tombs is that they're too crazy to move anywhere from where they started as ghosts. (Compare to the ghosts of the Battle of the Osage, who are more lucid but still hang around exactly where they died.) |

Actually, I don't think Hitler's *got* a tomb. He committed suicide in the Fuehrerbunker, as you'll recall, and cremated. The Soviets glommed the ashes and buried them in various places till they were exhumed and scattered to the winds, in 1970. Or so says Wikipedia. The tombs in which these wicked men are raving may be of their own construction. I'm thinking of C. S. Lewis's The Great Divorce, which begins with a vision of the suburbs of Hell (all cheap dingy buildings and near-empty streets), and somebody mentions having seen Napoleon. I can't lay hands on my copy at the moment, so I'll have to paraphrase. "He'd built himself a huge mansion, all the windows brightly lighted, and we looked in one of them. There he was, walking up and down, up and down, saying 'It was Soult's fault. It was Ney's fault. It was Josephine's fault. It was the fault of the Prussians. It was the fault of the English.' A little fat man, and he looked tired. But he didn't seem able to stop." |
