Do Well and Let Them Talk
8 comments:
The perpetual dusk that Toby has been living in throughout all his life has been morphed by Dwight so that Toby has no right to wake up and see the sun; just Dwight.
Toby crossed the continental divide to change his character, he wanted to be a boy of integrity, but now Dwight has changed Toby into the complete opposite of what Toby set out for.
As a result of Toby’s absent family and his lack of identity and power getting covered up with wrong actions, Toby enters the opposite of his desired life.
Dwight, the person who is supposed to act as a father figure in Toby’s life, is leading him farther and farther into the dark forest.
Dwight is trying to mold Toby to be the boy that he would've raised him to be.
Dwight and Toby piant everything in their home white in order to show change, however, the change that has happened to Toby has been the opposite of what he wanted.
A home should be a place where you feel safe and loved, which is what Toby is trying to find, but he has yet to discover it with Dwight.
"There is an island in the dark, a dreamt-of place where the muttering wind shifts over the white lawns and riffles the leaves of trees, the high trees that are streaked with gold and line the walkways there; and those already arrived are happy to be the silken remains of something they were but cannot recall; they move to the sound of stars, which is also imagined, but who cares about that; the polished columns they see may be no more than shafts of sunlight, but for those who live on and on in the radiance of their remains this is of little importance."
