Basta is superstitious. Basta and Flatnose are some of Capricorn's men, and they captured Meggie and Pippo. "'You could drive a man crazy, the way you carry on: Don't walk in that shadow, it's unlucky; oh, watch out, you put your left boot on first, that's unlucky; oh my, someone yawned- mercy me, that means I'll fall down dead tomorrow'"(297)! This shows Basta fears having bad luck.

Dustfinger misses his old home in Inkheart. Dustfinger watched the failed execution, and stole Inkheart from Mo despite Farid's protests. "'Now that I have the book I will look for someone who can read me into it again, even if it's a stammerer like Darius who sends me home with a lame leg or a squashed face'"(525-526). This shows Dustfinger is homesick for the world of Inkheart, and will do anything to go back.

Resa is Meggie's mother. Meggie and Fenoglio were taken to Capricorn's village, and Meggie saw one of Capricorn's maids and learned more about how she got there from Darius, who read her out of Inkheart. "… she thought again of the woman with the dark blond hair. 'Resa,' she whispered. TeResa. Teresa was her mother's name"(395). This shows that Meggie has finally met her mom after she disappeared into Inkheart.

Elinor, Mo, Meggie, Farid, and Dustfinger are in great danger. They just barely escaped from Capricorn's village, and they are on the run, while they are being chased by Capricorn's men. ""Keep your heads down!" gasped Dustfinger, ducking behind one of the ruined walls… The tangled thornbushes growing among its gnarled roots were just tall enough to hide them"(207). This shows they are at risk of being caught.

Capricorn's a liar. Dustfinger betrayed Mo, Meggie, and Elinor to get 'Inkheart' for Capricorn, who told him he'd get Dustfinger back inside 'Inkheart.' Then Capricorn burned the books. "'But you can't burn them!' he stammered. 'You promised to send me back if I found you Silvertongue's book. That's why I told you where he was. That's why I brought you his daughter"(164). This shows Capricorn lied.

Mo is hiding something from Meggie. A stranger named Dustfinger visited Mo one night, and the next day Mo said they were going on a trip, and tried to hide a book from Meggie. "The green linen binding looked worn, but that was all Meggie could see because Mo quickly hid the book behind his back as soon as he noticed her"(18). This shows Mo is keeping a secret from Meggie.
