This chapter is a sad reading...of the three protagonists ...Mark and Carl are the ones who are sympathetic characters...at least in my opinion.
Carl is a broken and lonely young man, starving for companionship but he masks his longing and vulnerability with his vanity.I figure he thinks no one wants him for himself but his looks. It is why he is most favourite ..He is beautifully complex...Am so excited to see where his journey is going to take him.
Mark ..oh Mark has low self esteem issues that could fell a mountain..
Jonathan ,to me , lacks complexity. He is just ordinary ..Bland to so to say .Like there is nothing about him that makes one to want to spend a lot of time around him...in my head that is 😉😂
Thank you for the update!
