Who's Chasing You, Jules?

"I pursued him, and for many months this has been my task" (page 193)

So the rest of Vick's life is dedicated to hunting down Mario to kill him. It's pretty funny that he never catches him, but he tries so so hard. This situation sorta reminds me of the scene in My Best Friend's Wedding where Jules starts chasing Michael and Michael chases Kimi at the wedding to win their love or something. And Jules gets on the phone with her best friend (her other best friend) who says "...and who's chasing you, Jules? No one and that's your answer." or something like that. Vick is chasing Mario all around the world, but who is chasing Vick- to get him back home, so he can stop killing himself? No one. Because everyone he ever loved is dead (except for that one brother that he just kinda ignores) But who's fault is that? Directly, it is Mario's fault, but indirectly--Vick's. And no one was chasing Jules because she also ruined everything by lying and stuff. Jules eventually stops the chase and can be happy for Michael and Kimi, but Vick doesn't stop until he dies. He definitely made his bed for himself and paid the price. There is no one left for him to go back to. This is so much rambling.

  1. Yeeeah, E-something. Ernest. I read his name in the part where their dad dies, and I had almost forgotten who he even was.
