Conflicting pieces

When I was writing my paper I realized that Enrique has conflicting views on Sab. When he is in the storm with Sab there is a point where he stares at Sab and believes that he sees his true nature and mutters the word "scoundrel" referring to Sab. This would indicate that Enrique sees that Sab does not like him. Later in the Caves Enrique calls Sab his guardian angel and mentions that he has now saved his life twice. I am not sure what causes Enrique not to remember his realization of Sab, maybe memory loss of the night? Because if he remembered this little piece, Enrique may think twice about why Sab has twice saved his life.

-I'm not sure but I think the first scene is on page 50 and the second on page 77

Night of the Storm 2

The night of the storm is a topic that I am definitely interested in and it sounds like there are a lot of opinions on the topic to consider. I would enjoy analyzing this scene and either looking at what did happen afterwards or considering what could have happened had Sab acted differently. I also think it is an interesting argument, as posted above, about whether or not he should have acted differently.

Sab

I thought that the opportunity to chat with Professor Scott was great. To be able to talk to someone who can provide so much insight into the book was fascinating. Personally I never would have thought that the most difficult part of translating a novel would be the descriptions of plants and animals. I was guessing, as I think a lot of people were, that Professor Scott would have had to work far harder on not loosing the overall meaning of the novel and trying to keep the same feel as the original addition. It also sounded like even though this was her first translation it was also her most popular.

Night of the storm

On the night of the Storm, Sab decides to save Enrique. I do not believe that he should have. He does so because Carlota sent him as his protector and he believes that Carlota would fault him if Enrique died. Carlota may have originally blamed Sab for Enrique's death but if Sab had insisted that the fallen tree killed him she would eventually forgive him and just hold Enrique in loving memory. Instead Sab decides to save Enrique and for the rest of the book despises him. Sab can not make up his mind throughout the book whether he dislikes Enrique or loves Carlota more. At one point he switches the lottery tickets out of love for Carlota to let the two marry and live happily. At others he is plotting against Sab which would also hurt Carlota. In the end Sab reveals Enrique and writes the letter to Carlota. In doing so, he brings a realization down on her and destroys her picture of Enrique. Had he killed Sab in the beginning of the book, Carlota would have eventually gotten over his death and Enrique would have died in loving memory. Instead Carlota is heartbroken and Enrique is revealed for what he really is
