The Reader-How Wrong Can You Be?

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2009)

'Have you been spending a lot of time thinking about the past?' the man asked the woman. 'You mean with you?' 'No, no...I didn't mean to me.' 'Before the trial, I've never thought about the past, I don't have to...' 'Now what do you feel?' 'It doesn't matter what I feel. It doesn't matter what I think.The dead are still dead.' 'I wasn't sure you've learned...' 'I've learned,Kid, I've learned to read.'
......................
'How wrong can you be?' I think this must be an outcry inside the heart of the man the moment Hanna gave him such a ridiculous answer after so many years of her being a prisoner.
When man finally sat and faced in the front of Hann with whom he had an affair when he was fifteen-year old, he sincerely expected the woman could realize how wrong she was in the past, (maybe in this way he could give her a chance to excuse her) but the woman's cold and ridiculous answer made him disappointed again.
He loved the part of woman who ever helped him and gave him such a wonderful feeling that summer while he couldn't forgive the part of woman who left him coldly and helped Nazi kill three hundred people's lives.
Indeed, there are some people in this world that used to estimating themselves in their own imaginary way. They couldn't face their true face just like Hanna would like to committee a crime she didn't make rather than confess that she was an illiteracy.
That summer, the boy was being left alone and heart-broken while Hanna didn't realize what she left behind was the best thing in the world but turned to the wrongest thing in her life. The reason with Hanna was refusing to face the true self, the true world, and then, miss the true love forever!
