When Roxeanne Coss sings the aira from Barber of Seville,
she expresses her forecast of how she views the upcoming events. Coss realizes her relationship with Hosokawa
will not likely continue after they are released. She states that her talent will be worth
more, double, maybe triple the revenue she was earning prior to the hostage
crisis. Coss realizes her heart maybe
broken after the crisis ends. Both the
hostages and the terrorists have formed such strong bonds during this time and their
realization the end is closer they care to think about. It seems appropriate that Coss might choose
this aira; its symbolism of a wounded heart captures her feelings and foreshadows
the actual wounding of the man she has fallen in love with.
Comic relief seems only intentional at this point in the
novel. The end is very near, the
hostages have already witnessed death.
In an epic unlikelihood, the hostages and terrorists have bonded and
some fallen in love. The sheer analysis
of this drama might prove comic considering the oddity of the characters and
their chance meeting.
