Wooof.

COMEDY in general, a story that ends with a happy resolution of the conflicts faced by the main character or characters.

Am I right, or am I right? It's what Vick wanted all along. "He sprang from the cabin window as he said this, upon the ice raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance" (page the last one)

Depending on your point of view, this could be viewed as a happy resolution of the conflicts faced by Vick.
But that's just a joke. This book was so depressing. I can't wait to read a sappy romance novel.

This post is actually about the resolution of the novel. I can't figure out what's going on in Mario's mind? His entire (short) life, he had NO ONE to really talk to.. his purpose at the beginning was to learn language so that maybe he'd be accepted, but that failed big time. Then he made it his mission to make Vick's life a living fire burning pit of flames. But then Vick died. He has nothing left.. He basically took away everyone from Vick and then took everything he had away too. (not that he had much). The only thing he had left was death. At the beginning, I thought Mario was like a baby, but now he is sorta like an old man.
