Jayden interviews candidates for an opening on the team. Neil gets sidetracked during a town hall and Orly has a shocking realization.

## Plot

A new recycle facility is to be built in Los Angeles and in the Brentwood area aggravating the wealthy residents. Bremer is forced to attend a town hall where the residents can voice their concerns. Arpi tags along with him as she is happy that the arrogant residents are getting punished with this. At the town hall, Bremer is persuaded by Andie McDowell, who he has a crush on, to move the facility away from Brentwood, but in the end Arpi convinces him to keep the facility where it is. Meanwhile, after realizing they are recycling speeches, Jayden is put in charge of hiring a speech writer, but is conflicted on whether to hire an actually qualified candidate or a candidate who shares his loves and beliefs and he has befriended. Jayden ends up sacrificing his friendship and hiring the qualified candidate. Orly comes to Mikaela with school trouble, but she ends up convincing Mikaela that her own life is a lot like that of a high schooler's.

A knock upon the memory of a door

"**A knock upon the memory of a door**" is the sixth story in the book *Sweet Sorrows*, and the ninth chapter overall.

## Summary

A girl is exploring in the woods near her home. She finds a door knocker. She has always wanted to use one on a door, but is too short. She finds a door lying on the ground, and knocks on it.

When she does so, the door opens into the Starless Sea, and the girl falls. The door is destroyed in the process, but the girl survives the fall.

## Characters

### Major Characters

* Eleanor - unnamed, described as "the girl"

## Trivia and Connections

* The door is describe in anthropomorphic terms as "remember[ing] the time when it was complete." Within the "fairy tale" segments of the book, inanimate objects are often treated in this way; for example, the paper star that had been unfolded and refolded into a unicorn.
* Though Eleanor later reads *Sweet Sorrows*, she does not recognize this chapter as being about herself.

## Analysis

This chapter introduces another new character, Eleanor, and describes how a person might accidentally find their way to the Starless Sea. It also emphasizes how old these doors are, part of a world that has fallen apart.

Eleanor thinks of herself as an explorer, and the narration emphasizes that there is a difference between being lost, and moving forward even though you do not know your way. Perhaps this is why Eleanor keeps her mind as she sails the Starless Sea, whereas Simon becomes lost in time.

## Quotes

* *A girl lost in the woods is a different sort of creature than a girl who walks purposefully through the trees even though she does not know her way.*
* *She is young enough to carry fear with her without letting it into her heart.*
* *The door is delighted to be knocked upon after so long.*
* *When she lands she is all curiosity and scraped elbows and dirt-covered eyelashes.*

Dollhouse room

The **Dollhouse room** is a room in the current Harbor on the Starless Sea. It once contained an extensive, collaborative world with a dollhouse at its core, but the room was lost in a fire. A full-scale recreation of the dollhouse room exists in Zachary's afterlife.

## Description

### Before the fire

The dollhouse room contained a large number of buildings and other objects intended to represent a miniature universe. At its core was a dollhouse which could open and expand with a lock and key, although it was generally kept closed. A family of dolls "lived' inside the house.

Around the original dollhouse were more houses, a landscape made of stacks of books, folded paper birds, and a variety of other objects. Many of these were made with found objects such as thimbles, matchsticks, or buttons.

The arrangement of the dollhouse room constantly changed, as visitors played with, repaired, or added to the contents.

## History

The dollhouse room began with a single dollhouse in a room in the Harbor. The specific origin of the dollhouse is not known, although presumably it was put there either by the children who played with it, or after they were grown.

As time went on, visitors to the Harbor added areas around the dollhouse, including a landscape, other houses, and other dolls. Some visitors interacted with the dollhouse room very little, but others spent extensive time there, constructing new environments and narratives around the people who lived there.

## Analysis

The dollhouse room represents the apex of culture and life in the Harbor. It is an ongoing creative endeavor, shared by all those who came to the Harbor, ever-changing and adapting. It exists for no purpose other than to be, and to tell stories.

The destruction of the dollhouse room, in turn, parallels the decline of the Harbor. In a sense, the dollhouse room "died," and perhaps that explains how it could appear in Zachary's afterlife.

The Eternals

The Eternals are a strange race of creatures. Native to Bosquetierra, the Eternals stand apart by not functioning as monster races normally do. Every Eternal looks and acts differently from each other. As well, the Eternals seemingly do not die. At least, they don't stay dead. An Eternal always has a name and story attached to them. While they may seem like fairy tales, the contents of these stories are vital towards surviving an encounter with one.

Many adventurers dedicate their lives to studying Eternals and all have returned with little information. While they are all of the same race, it seems as if each Eternal acts and looks completley differently from each other. Some may be harmless harbingers, some may be completely domesticated, and some are incredibly dangerous. The only similarity is that Eternals work off of set rules. Finding out what makes them act in the way they do is an important strategy in facing them.
Once, very long ago...

"**Once, very long ago...**" is the first story in the book *Sweet Sorrows* and the first chapter overall.

## Summary

A pirate has been imprisoned in a dungeon. He is guarded by two guards, the "reading guard" and the "short guard." A girl comes to bring him food, but she is afraid of him and stops coming. Afterwards, a different girl comes to bring the food. Though both are wary at first, they soon grow closer. They spend their nights together on opposite sides of the bars of the cell. The girl drugs the short guard's wine so that they have more time together.

Soon, the time comes for the pirate to be executed. For the first time, the girl speaks to him, asking him to tell her a story.

## Characters

### Major Characters

* Time (as "The pirate")
* Fate (as "The girl")

### Minor Characters

* The reading guard - a man who spends his time on duty reading crime serials
* The short guard - a man who spends his time on duty asleep, mostly

## Trivia and Connections

* The Keeper later tells Zachary that "pirate" is a poor translation, and that "rogue" is closer to what he was called.
* The story took place at an older Harbor. The Keeper had held the title of Harbormaster, "until they decided Harbors should not have masters." Presumably, his imprisonment was the result of losing this position of leadership.
* The story of the pirate and the girl continues in "...Time fell in love with fate", the last story in *Sweet Sorrows*, and in Interlude II.

## Analysis

In the first chapter, Morgenstern presents one of the central relationships of the book, that between Time and Fate. They are not named as such; instead, they are referred to by archetypes, "the pirate" and "the girl." In fact, no names are used in this story, which is typical of fairy and folk tales. The setting and time period are left vague, although we do know that the action takes place near the sea. There are hints that the "sea" in question is the Starless Sea; the pirate notes that he cannot mark the passage of time because there are not clocks, and the stone walls muffle the morning chimes and evening merriment. No mention is made of the sun, the usual way of tracking the passage of time.

We learn later that this story, the first chapter in *Sweet Sorrows*, is a retelling of an event that took place in an older Harbor. It is not known specifically why the pirate was imprisoned, although it is possible that the residents of the Harbor, having decided that they no longer wanted him as the Harbormaster, imprisoned him as a result.

## Quotes

* *The pirate is a metaphor but also still a person.*
* *Even a pirate can recognize the beginning of a dance.*
* *"Tell me a story," she says.*

There are three paths. This is one of them (1)

*This article is about the path of the acolytes. For the path of the guardians, see "There are three paths. This is one of them (2)". For the path of the keepers, see "There are three paths. This is one of them (3)".*

"**There are three paths. This is one of them**" is the second story in the book *Sweet Sorrows*, and the second chapter overall.

## Summary

The chapter begins by describing a Harbor on the Starless Sea: a labyrinth of books and tunnels. Within the Harbor are those who dedicate themselves to it in various ways.

One way is the path of the acolyte. Those who wish to become acolytes enter a month of confined contemplation. After this period, if they choose to continue, they accept a metal disk with a carving of a bee and proceed to an initiation ceremony.

During the initiation, they are blindfolded, and their chest is branded using the metal disk. They are given a taste of honey, and their tongues are removed. Once the initiation is complete, the acolyte gains the ability to perceive the stories around them.

## Characters

### Minor Characters

* Unnamed new acolyte
* Unnamed senior acolytes
* Older man

## Trivia and Connections

* The unnamed young woman who loses her tongue to become an acolyte in this chapter cannot be Rhyme, since Rhyme speaks. In the narration, Morgenstern notes that Rhyme's words "[sit] strangely on a tongue she has not used for speaking in years." This implies that she has always had her tongue, but simply did not speak.
* The gesture of respect described in this chapter, two fingers to the lips with a nod, is later employed by Zachary with Rhyme.

## Analysis

Here we are told of the first of the three paths (though as the Keeper remarks, each person has their own path.) Still, we begin to learn the mythology of the Starless Sea and the culture that its inhabitants built.

In this chapter, we are first presented with the idea of a story as something that can live independently, with real people stepping into it or out of it.

We are also given our first description of a Harbor on the Starless Sea, and learn that people love it so fiercely that they are willing to dedicate their lives to it. Allegra, who also chose the path of the acolyte, represents a perversion of that ideal.

## Quotes

* *There are three paths. This is one of them.*
* *In the darkness, fingers part her lips and a drop of honey is placed on her tongue. This is to ensure that the last taste is sweet.*

There are three paths. This is one of them (3)

*This article is about the path of the keepers. For the path of the acolytes, see "There are three paths. This is one of them (1)". For the path of the guardians, see "There are three paths. This is one of them (2)".*

"**There are three paths. This is one of them**" is the eighth story in the book *Sweet Sorrows*, and the thirteenth chapter overall.

## Summary

The keepers predated both acolytes and guardians, though they were predated by the bees and the stories. Originally, the keepers only looked after the bees and stories, but as the space grew larger, they began to sort books into rooms and build our infrastructure for the stories to be consumed, until no one keeper could keep track of all of it.

Originally keepers were raised from birth, but it shifted to a volunteer position. There were three periods of training. In the third, the potential keeper must choose a story and learn it by memory. After a year of study, they are brought to a room containing copies of every key in the Harbor. A short time later, someone enters the room, and the candidate must tell their story. When the story is finished, the candidate will either be dismissed in failure, or allowed to choose a key. The key is branded into the successful candidate's chest, and they gain a knowledge of all the rooms and keys in the Harbor.

However, there is only one keeper left.

## Trivia and Connections

* The test to become a keeper is echoed in Zachary's experience with the ice Mirabel.
* The Keeper was both the first keeper and the last.

## Analysis

In the final of the three paths, we learn some of the origins of the Harbor. We are introduced to the bees and the stories, who predated all of the human involvement. The Keeper came first to that space, and as more people found their way to it, the Harbor and the traditions of the keepers built up organically.

The final paragraphs are most relevant because they describe exactly what Zachary feels about the Harbor and about stories in general.

## Quotes

* *Keepers once kept only their bees and their stories.*
* *Devotion is for acolytes. Worthiness for guardians. Keepers must have spirit and keep it aloft.*

> Book I: Sweet Sorrows, **Zachary (1)**

"**Zachary (1)**" is the first chapter from Zachary's perspective, and the fourth chapter overall.

*Proceed at your own risk if you have not yet finished the Starless Sea.*

## Summary

It is January 2015, and Zachary has returned to campus before classes are set to resume. He goes to the university library to read and finds an old book called *Sweet Sorrows*. After flipping through the first few pages, he checks it out. The librarian cannot find it in the system, so she enters it in so that Zachary can check it out.

Zachary brings it back to his dorm room and begins to read it. To his surprise, the third story is about him, a time that he found a painted door in an alley. He investigates the book, and discovers images of a bee, a key, and a sword under the barcode sticker, the same images that had been painted on the door in the alley.

## Characters

### Minor

* Elena (unnamed, described as "student librarian")
* Unnamed middle-aged librarian

## Trivia and Connections

* This is the only chapter from Zachary's point of view that does not start with either "Zachary Ezra Rawlins" or "The son of the fortune-teller."
* Zachary notes that tiny flecks of gold dot the spine of *Sweet Sorrows*. Golden dust appears frequently throughout the novel, inside the Guardians' eggs or at the party in the ballroom.

## Analysis

This chapter introduces Zachary as a real person, rather than as a character in a story. We learn that his field of study is Emerging Media Studies, specifically gaming. His hesitant personality is clearly on display in his interactions with Elena. Zachary clearly wants to take the book, but seems willing to yield it up if there is a problem scanning it.

At this point, the reader has read just as much of *Sweet Sorrows* as Zachary has. The different writing style between this section and the selections from *Sweet Sorrows* help to delineate the real and the unreal, but the connection between Zachary and his description in *Sweet Sorrows* begins to blur that line. This theme of the blur between myth and reality continues throughout the book until, in Book VI, Zachary is even identified as "the son of the fortune-teller" at the beginning of his own point-of-view chapters.

## Quotes

## Summary

The son of a fortune-teller (Zachary, though not named) walks through an alley on his way home from school. There, he finds a door painted onto the wall of the alley. He feels drawn towards the door, although when he touches it, he can tell that it is only paint on a wall.

He does not touch the doorknob, however. The narration indicate that if he had touched it, everything would have changed, and he would have found his way to the Starless Sea. The story ends with the words "not yet", implying that he will go there at some point in the future.

## Characters

### Major Characters

* Zachary Ezra Rawlins (as, "the son of the fortune-teller")
* Madame Love Rawlins (mentioned, as "the fortune-teller")

## Trivia and Connections

* The door was painted by Mirabel, an event depicted in Interlude I.
* The door is marked with a bee, a key, and a sword, the three symbols associated with the current Harbor.
* The French phrase that Zachary cannot remember is *trompe-l'œil*, which translates literally as "deceive the eye."

## Analysis

This is the first story set in the "real world" and the "present day." Even so, the fairy-tale narration is preserved. Neither Zachary nor his mother are mentioned by name, nor is the setting of New Orleans, Louisiana.

If we view Zachary as the hero of the story, then this event fits neatly into the Hero's Journey.The door represents the "Call to Adventure", and his choice not to open the door is the "Refusal of the Call." Given the mythic nature of this story, it is unsurprising that Morgenstern would have structured Zachary's plot arc on the archetypical hero myth.

* *This is what his mother would call a moment with meaning. A moment that changes the moments that follow.*
* *A boy at the beginning of a story has no way of knowing that the story has begun.*

**Madame Love Rawlins** is Zachary Ezra Rawlins' mother, and a fortune teller specialising in psychometry, though she dabbles in tarot and tea leaves.

## Appearance

Madame Love Rawlins is short and curvy, with dark skin and curly hair. She wears a lot of earrings. On one forearm, she has a tattoo of a sun, and on the other, a line of three moons. She has large, round eyes, and her face is wrinkled, "yet young". We have seen her wearing a bathrobe "the colour of an under-ripe peach" with her hair tied up in a rainbow scarf, and overalls, a paisey scarf, and glittery green eyeliner.

## History

### Early life

Madame Love Rawlins lived in Haiti until she was four, then moved to New Orleans, where she eventually opened a spiritualist store and worked as a fortune teller. Her son Zachary Ezra Rawlins was born in 1990, and she, her husband, and her son, lived above her shop until 2004, when she and her husband divorced. Madame Love Rawlins and Zachary relocated to upstate New York, where she lives at the beginning of the book.
