Him being in the cold is him digging up her body right? It has to be.
I will feel extremely illiterate if not.

Catherine cannot leave the protagonist like F. and Edith because she was never there in the first place.

I think I will focus my essay on intimacy as enacted through violence (against women, specifically indigenous women as opposed to white men). This protagonist is deeply disturbed and I suspect he project his own fantasies as being analagous to everybody else.
I wonder if the section that is from the POV of his friend, F., will confirm this theory. I already guessed on his(Protag) pedophile nature, and was correct.

This isn’t that difficult to read. I am *understanding* but I need to under enough to write a good paper. It’s a good novel.

Intimacy is solely about fulfilling self-desire and through constant sexualization of women in every possible scenario - even rape. It coincides with his saviour complex over indigenous women, wanting to "save him" for his own personal pleasure of being important and renowned.

Have to read this for my English class. It’s not that hard of a read. I probably should have started earlier so I could re-read before the test. I still might. I want to get a lot farther a lot quicker. I want to be finished by Friday so I can re-read. I thought the homosexuality would be a “twist” but it’s already there hahahaha. It’s not that explicit mostly because the whole novel lacks description
