Photo on the left of very thin woman posing for a picture in a beautiful red and gold gown. This woman may be thinking, "I've never been so nervous but I at least I look great, hopefully not fat, I am so uncomfortable right now -oh my gosh I think this dress may break - what would I do then? No idea - this is why I didn't eat."
Does Latimer have supernatural powers? In our group discussion there were conflicting views, some of us believe that the narrator does have supernatural powers while others believe that he may be experiencing mental issues within himself.What is some of the evidence leading to the idea that he may be gifted?
The vision of Prague. His original vision of Prague was accurate although he had never seen it before. It could be possible that he has just seen many pictures of the Charles Bridge (one of the most famous bridges in the world) and as a result has been able to paint a picture of it in his mind.
Sometimes people in love project what they want onto their loved ones in order for them to find in others what they are looking for, even if it is not entirely real. Latimer's description of Bertha is odd. She is not what he would consider to be the picture perfect woman. Bertha is independent, sarcastic, admired and worshipped. Latimer thinks she has a deep secret and that he could be the only one to save her. This could be the result of his corrupt relationship with his father. As far as his mother goes, she worshipped Latimer, and then died. He could have felt that she left him on purpose! Latimer thinks very highly of himself. He believes that he is cursed, much like Victor believes that he is fated by evil.
