Prior to entering the Pale Man’s room, the faun warns Ofelia
not to eat or drink anything off the table, no matter how tempting it may be.
Despite successfully collecting the knife from the cupboard, and the warning not to eat or drink anything on the Pale Man’s table, Ofelia decided to eat a lush red grape anyways - blatantly ignoring the
faun’s warning.
1. Why do you think Ofelia chose to eat something off the
table?
2. What do you think would have happened if she hadn’t eaten
something off the table; was this action critical towards her completion of the
three tasks?
Ofelia chose to eat something off the table because she felt like she was invincible and that if it was something small the creature would not notice.
ReplyDeleteIf she hadn’t eaten something off the table nothing would have changed because in the end she was killed by her step father. I do not feel this was an action that was critical towards her completion of the three tasks because of this end result- Morgan Raddatz
Great question and good answer by Morgan! My interpretation is that she was learning disobedience. Mimi
