September 10, 2013 Blog 2 pt 1



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.
