Kindle Notes & Highlights
Everyone she haunted would be terrified of her; but she is afraid of no one.
A similar theme for the villains in each Nameless novella to this point.
She, too, is extraordinary and able to transcend any threat.
Another commonality between villains: they believe they are extraordinary. This seems like the mindset of the sociopathic psychopath murderer.
Perhaps the work he’s doing now is compensation for failures in his past. In which case, brooding only distracts him from what he is obliged to do, and he is best advised to let the past be past, the better to fulfill his mission. Denial endures because it soothes.
This is the idea that the arbiter of truth/justice (though he reiterates time and time again that they don’t operate in justice) has something in their past that requires penance in the form of setting things right in the presence.
Sprung out of memory, those words from Hamlet surprise him. He didn’t know that he was, to any extent, a Shakespearean scholar.
His past is beginning to reconstruct itself. Foreshadowing.
