the night circus

One of the things we talked about in our group was about Baileys significance in the story. We could not find any real reason that he was there except to add another view point of the circus in the story. Bailey's had his own side story in the book which made the story more real. The second thing that we also discussed was what happened in the story so far. We talked about how the book, “The Night Circus”, is a fairytale most likely set in the Victorian Era . The description of the way the characters talked, the scenery, clothing described as long dresses that went down to the ankle worn with gloves, and the girls hair was styled up in a bun all gave a old time feeling.
The book mostly takes place at a magical night circus, which is only open to the public from sunset to sunrise. But we recently learned that the circus also serves a different purpose other than entertainment. Also we learned that the game has begun since Marco figured out that Celia is his opponent. But we have no idea if Celia knows if Marco is her opponent. I thought she does but i'm not sure, because when Marco first saw Celia he felt the mark on his finger (where the ring was ) burn so that made me think “then wouldn't she know too ?” But she never showed any feeling of pain when she was auditioning for the circus .
The third question we talked about was, “Is Isobel and Celia the same person?” We soon found out they are definitely two different people and that there could possibly be a love triangle later on in the story. The fourth question we discussed was “What was your favorite part of the circus?” I personally thought my favorite part was the ever-changing sections and different routines they had in the circus as well as the whole magical feeling it gave in the story that Erin Morgenstern beautifully wrote and described .
