TOTW 20/08: Ennis rejecting people close to him
brokeplex:
I don't understand the relationship between Ennis and the Greyhound bus?
Artiste:
Merci brokeplex !
In order to reply, maybe this might help:
The spectators in that Greyhound bus had a horrible times, while the murderer was torturing that innocent young man.
Ennis, was an innocent young man when his dad brought him to that tortured body, who had been a gay man !
...........
That time on that Greyhound bus was horrible ! Plus for some time, seeing the decapitated head of an annocent young man !
It was also horrible for Ennis to see that tortured gay man whose sex parts were removed because he was gay !
.............
The spectators on that Greyhound bus, I'm sure had a dire time then, and will therefore, have hard times for the rest of their lives, even fearing persons and society too ?? Since, it was like war to them, as each feared for its own life, also collectively !
Ennis fears then seeing that tortured gay man mutulated body, even for his own life, then and after...
so it's like war ! And even collectively with Jack, he fears that both might be tortured ??
..........
All these spectators as well as Ennis... are in a state of mind... like you have in war ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
brokeplex:
some of your analogy makes sense, but Ennis grew up in an environment that was at least similar to Jack, and Jack did not exhibit the behavioral pathologies that Ennis did. so I think that there is more to the story than just claiming that Ennis had a type of shell shocked battle fatigue.
Artiste:
Merci brokeplex !
But Jack does the same as Ennis; think about it ?
It's different form or camouflage... but it's the same since society or war against gays will and does hurt him too, and even murder him !!
Au revoir,
hugs!
brokeplex:
no I don't see your point about Jack.
