Hazel’s character is very comedic. O’Connor paints everyone around Hazel as being so attracted to his uniqueness and determination, yet he is easily annoyed and disgusted by each of them. It is so humorous how he hates the mere presence of each character, yet they fall in love with him.

In this chapter, O’Connor is describing the temptations consuming Hazel’s mind. Hazel is talking about how he can feel God trying to convince him to ask for forgiveness…

    According to New York Time’s Review, the film Captain Blood “provided a properly picturesque background for Dr. Blood's piratical career, as the Warner Brothers skillfully reconstruct the England of the sanguinary Monmouth uprising, the West Indies of tortured slaves and savage masters, and the ships that sailed the Spanish Main flying the jolly roger”. On the other hand, a masculine and heroic protagonist along side with a beautiful and delicate love interest is definitely an iconography of adventure films during the time. Adventure films were intended to appeal mainly to men, creating major male heroic stars through the years. These courageous, patriotic, or altruistic heroes often fought for their beliefs, struggled for freedom, or overcame injustice.…

    Humankind has a habit of misusing the word ‘can’t’ once they feel unsatisfied with their lives, but it’s up to them to improve their circumstances. For example, one of the main character, Vladimir, says, “We can’t… We’re waiting for Godot” (Beckett 8). Everything in life is about priorities. Because we can’t have all the things we desire in life, we must make sacrifices. All of the choices we make reflect what we care about most. In Vladimir’s case, he chooses to spend his time waiting for Godot rather than engaging in other activities that may be more entertaining. However, he states that he and Estragon can’t leave, which is false. Had Vladimir taken some time to think through his decisions, he would’ve realized that he had no reason to wait…
