Making excuses for murder

Literally this passage describes the woman’s night after going to her friend’s house then leaving in the darkness even if she knew everything in the neighborhood she still gets lost.

The way this passage is written is important because it is unique from lines before and after it because it contains things such as juxtaposition within the strong imagery and interesting use of language in places where there was a “–“ in-between words of description towards the end of the passage.

The imagery builds the understanding of the situation giving the reader the idea in the beginning that her situation was bright even if there was no moon in the sky meaning that it was literally dark but she was happily going over to her friend’s house knowing how to get there by memory. But after leaving her friend’s house there was nothing but the whole world around her and the world she had memorized by being living there was gone and she got lost and was stranded in darkness. This can be compared to her actual life even if it’s not clear she is describing and making excuses as to the explanation of who she was and why she didn’t want Anton to know before he understood what she did or what she was involved in meaning she could have been the one to murder his parents.

In the idea that she is describing her life the juxtaposition in the beginning of the passage is used in a way that when she said the moon was not in the sky yet is was bright and then when she leaves the friend’s house its dark and she is changed probably because the conversation she had with the “friend” changed he and messed with her mind so harshly that a place she knew how to get around with her eyes closed was temporarily completely erased her memory or clouded it with the topic and this cloud was so significant it absorbed all of her mental capacity.

And the use of the  “–“ in the end is used to emphasize the imagery that she described showing that she knew every aspect and detail of the neighborhood that was absorbed by the mental cloud of darkness that went from the brightness without the moon to total nothingness besides the ominous clouds of conflict within herself.
