Oedipus Connor Quotes Analysis

In this quote, the author allows the reader to infer that Connor views his life as expendable.
When Connor discovered his parent’s want for him to be “unwound”, he suddenly became reckless and uncaring for himself; thus, putting himself in potentially deadly situations became normal for him, as he knew that no matter what he did, his future had destined itself for death. By including this quote and showing his recklessness, the author set up the starting point for Connor’s behavior in order to show his change throughout the novel.
