Chapter 3 and 4

In chapter 3, once peter leaves the town and stays in the old fortress, I think it gives not only a sense of hopelessness and fear for the reader, but I think it also creates a feeling of nostalgia that you can feel through Peter’s character. I think it further accents this feeling by showing that Peter is homesick, and it shows some of peters character traits, which I think could be described as Spontaneous and almost… Regretful that he had to leave in the first place. I also really liked how he was shown to be quick thinking when he hid in the coffin, which I think will prove to be important later on.  


I like the suspense that is shown in chapter 4, and the way that you can’t tell what the company of actors is going to do when they find him. I think the suspense and the way the author can seem to make the fear seem greater, all by using the coffin to personify death, and foreshadow that at least one death is most likely to come in the rest of the story.
