CONCLUSION

 

I really enjoyed reading this hypertext. The story, at first, seems to be a bit strange and surrealist but getting deeper and deeper the plot and the characters one can find a lot of coherence and intention on it. What I really like of this hypertext and the analysis of it is the fact that every scene has a hidden meaning ready for make you think about it, and the expressive vocabulary, description and style make the reader feel like being there, inside the text, together with the characters. I hope you enjoy as much as I do this hypertext, it is meaningful. Here I leave you my favourite part of the hypertext.

"Who's there," someone called out, a child I thought. 

I stood in the hallway. 

"Jane Brandt," I said. "Dan's friend." 

No one spoke. 

"I did not think anyone would be here," I added, raising my voice. My first inclination is always to lie. 

A woman came out of a room. 

"I'm Lucy," she said in a little-girl voice. "Dan's sister." 

She wore a short skirt and a lumpy knitted top that looked handmade and expensive. She wore red tights and brown suede maryjanes. Her fingertips were stained as if she'd been painting. 

"Hello," I said. 

"Hello Jane," Lucy said in the same light high voice, as though playing the role of a well-brought up child. "I'm so glad to meet you," she said. "How was the trip? Let me show you your room. Is Dan here, too? Is Dan coming? I can never remember when people tell me their plans. It is always so complicated. I don't really listen. I give out keys. If you give out keys you don't need to listen."
