Sri - Yes, but still I didn't understand some things.....

[Srividya]

Okay.. what did you not understand.. tell me and maybe I can try and explain it...

[Divya]

Jins -
But usually in fantasy books, they explain how that happens, don't they?
It was nice, but was too vague for me at times.

Sri
What did Johnny Walker gain by eating the cat's hearts?

[Srividya]

He was a mythical figure and not real... I believe the author wanted to state how hard hearted Kafka's father was and how he ate hearts out i.e. broke them constantly...

Cats were not really required but it was a kind of magical realism that the author wanted to express... he gained nothing..

the author just wanted to express that souls are not lost despite lives being lost.. and all those souls are always roaming.. the whole concept of how there is a supreme being who actually monitors these souls and how souls can be made evil or good etc.. the whole thing at the forest later where Kafka is tempted by the flute owner and has to decide whether to stay in a fantasy land or go back to reality.. that was what was Johnny Walker's role... to help Kafka decide his path in the end...

At least that's what I got out of it...

[Divya]

Thanks Sri. It makes some sense now :D

[Srividya]

Okay.. I guess I made sense then?? :P :P
