Since the disappearance of George Talboys, Robert Audley has been obsessively searching clues that lead to his body. In the beginning, Robert seemed to be nothing but a concerned friend. As the story progresses, I am starting to notice this weird obsession that Robert has with George\u2019s disappearance. In chapter two of the second volume, Robert questions his feelings for George: \u201cWho would have thought that I could have grown so fond of the fellow,\u201d he muttered, \u201cor feel so lonely without him? …\u201d (163) So, why is Robert so \u201cfond\u201d of George? Why is he willing to give up everything he owns to have George by his side.\u00a0\u00a0I believe that these questions may lead us to a deeper discovery of the relationship between Robert and George. I cannot help but question whether or not these two characters share a kind of common bond. Or, perhaps his obsession with George\u2019s disappearance indicates that Robert knows more than he\u2019s telling us. Why does he want to find George so badly? And, more importantly, why is he almost positive that George is dead? Robert may have an inkling about what has happened to George, and who might have been involved. However, since the narrator is unreliable, we cannot be sure whether or not Robert is hiding something from us or not.<\/p>\n
