Fourth Reflection

Throughout my readings this week I faced a new character named Caravaggio. Hana, the nurse knows Caravaggio from back home in Toronto. He was a theif back home. His skills were now being used in the British intellgiencies. They were approved and the British knew about them. From the conversations between Caravaggio and Hana I have noticed that Hana has been in love with a man named Giuseppe for a long time. They start talk about memories but then Hana tries to avoid Caravaggio and informs him that she is not interested in talking about this topic. Caravaggio there realizes a snese of feeling spark. He can feel that she is kinda emtionally connected to the English Patinet. However, they stop this conversation and change the topic by Hana asking Caravaggio to go find some food with her since they dont enough supplies. But then he informs her that he has kinda lost his hands. After a few days, Caravaggio starts to talk about his experineces in the British agencies. He was forced to steal some documents in this party when a picture of him was captured while he was stealing. Both Hana and Caravaggio have experineced some harsh circumstances where they have been forced to face devasting situations but they still stand strong and aim for their best. They make the best of their lives no matter what, they will stand strong and look at the world from an optimistic point of view.

  1. I think Caravaggio and Hana actually appeared in a novel preceding the "English Patient" which is called "In the Skin of a Lion". That story took place in Toronto, and I think it was established in that story, that Hana and Caravaggio were just friends. Because we didn't read "In the Skin of a Lion", I think their relationship may be more complex then it seems in the current story. However, it shouldn't really affect our understanding of the story.
