Pg 60. when this story was closed it would be important to know something about Parry I think what is being said is that because Joe is so passionate about science, he treats meeting Parry as some sweet of experiment, he HAS to find SOMETHING out about him, and I believe Joes passion for science and wanting o know more imprisons him because he agrees to meet Jed. This leads to Jed thinking(in ch 7) that Joe sends more signals and then Jeds obsessive love imprisons Joe throughout the novel Chapter 7 1) You love me and theres nothing I can do but return your love I foundert know wherefore you have chosen me. All I know is that I love you too now (Jed to Joe) (Imprisoning) This quote suggests that the assumed love that Joe has for Jed is imprisoning him because he has no choice but to give it back so he doesnt necessarily feel liberated by the love given to him.This quote can withal suggest that Jed may feel liberated by Joe because he says that Joe has chosen him which means he has been selected from and preferred above others. 2) I was quite interested to know, although I alike wanted to get away (Joe to Jed) (Imprisoning) Although Joe is obviously feeling uncomfortable and awkward around Jed, he is still unwilling to leave him and still pushes to ask him questions even though he thinks Jed accusations are obscene.

Chapter 8 Jed seems to be imprisoning Joe from the very beginning of the chapter I heard his voice on the monitor echo in the sign behind me. Joe, Gods love will seek you out he is unable to escape Parry I went back to the hall and turned the monitor volume down the use of echo is effective because it portrays how Parry is now all around him he is unable to pall away from the situation which seems unreal, he is constantly being reminded of their apparent love. In the bathroom I splashed my face with cold water its almost as though Joe cannot grasp the reality of the situation, he even has to splash his face with cold water to wake him up. He feels imprisoned by Jeds love and is scattered as to why Jed is so obsessed Wondering what it would be like to be obsessed by someone like me Joe is terrified by the situation, he cited back to the ballooning incident when they were having a picnic and Clarissa handed him a bottle of wine. He is trying to work out when the obsessions began and what triggered them. He is unable to escape Parry who has become so close to him now emotionally and physically.Joe feels the need to trace back to solve the situation which shows how serious it has become and how overmuch it is now bothering him, it is touched his alliance with Clarissa . This is highlighted by the face Jed cannot escape from him in his own home he results to turning of the answering machine. By the end of the chapter Joe has been affected I thought, Im in a relationship shows how Jed has the power to make Joe feel as though he is trapped in a relationship with him, he feels emotionally connected with him and is unable to break away.Parry could besides be considered to be imprisoned by his love for Joe, he was eternally there, arrant(a) at the entrance, like a dog tied up outside the shop he is waiting just to speak to Joe who has described him as an wight possible because of his lack of care felt towards him. Furthermore, Parry is searching for signals Joe, Brilliant idea with the curtains. I got it straight away? All I wanted to say is this. I feel it too. I really do he is seeking any little possibility that they could be together. In addition, he is trying to relate to Joes feelings to feel emotionally close.Chapter 9 They rarely row, Clar issa and Joe. She is especially bad at arguments. She has never been able to accept the rules of engagement which permit or select you to say things that you do not mean, or are distorted truths or not true at all. She cant help feeling that either utterance of hers takes her further not only from Joes love, but from all the love shes ever had, and makes her feel that a buried meanness has been unfastened that truly represents herThis shows that passion can be imprisoning because its causing her not to say things because shes frightened shell lose him. Causing her to think less highly of herselfClarissas personality is being held hostage by this fear of rejectionWe need to bear in mind that Clarissa and Joe are very comfortable with each other, these things are routineWe can prove it because while Clarissa is in the bath washing, Joe is sitting in the room having a conversation with her.His emotions are slow to shift to anger in the first place. Your only concern is Im not massa ging your damned feet after your hard day Also its particularly hard to be harsh to Clarissa because she is so easy to wound. Angry words leave an instant mark of pain across her faceJeds passion for Joe provokes a kind of liberation in that Joe undergoes a personality change and breaks his own rules on what to say to Clarissa. This reference to a recent tender half hour shows Joe as much as Clarissa. He had no resentment at the time, in fact he enjoyed itThis causes him to experience pleasure while hurting her. Clarissa leaves the room while its still delicious to feel wronged Ironically, she feels happy because Joe has hurt her. He feels he wouldnt mind picking up the dressing table backside and throwing it through the window It is liberating because Joe wants to express and express his personality.Chapter 10 Parry of course was to blame for coming between Clarissa and me This shows how Parrys passion towards Joe imprisons Joe, as it is wrecking his relationship with Clarissa. So it is imprisoning Joe and also Clarissa showing that, passion can not only be imprisoning for the two people involved but can also affect those around as well. high railings and perhaps some kind of military presence, a security guard or sentry. This shows one of the many references to prisons and imprisoned places during the book. Showing that as he saw his after Jed that it refers to how his passion is imprisoning Joe. What do you want? Parrys sobs got the better of him then. This shows how Jed lets his emotions get the better of him and he almost explodes.He becomes out of control, his passion imprisons himself, and he does things that maybe arent seen as normal and this shows how he is feeling used and tortured and that he cant get away from Joe, so he is imprisoned by him. I thought of Clarissa with a sudden leap of cheerful love Here passion is shown to be liberating. As Joes passion towards Clarissa helps him, makes him happy and almost hopeful. It also seems to help hi m pull through all the nastiness he just experienced. Chapter 11 (Jeds first letter) Page 94 And you, constrained as you are by your situation and by your sensitivity to Clarissas feelings In Jeds letter, he says that he understands why Joe cannot contact him directly and obviously. Jed feels that this is because Joes passion for Clarissa is imprisoning him by preventing him from contacting Jed, which Jed feels is what Joe wants to do.Page 94 95 What Im trying to say is, youve seen my soul (Im certain of that), and you know how to reach deeper into me, but you know next to nothing about the ordinary details of my life how I live, where I live, my past, my story. Its only the outer clothing, I know, but our love has to include it all Passion is liberating as, according to Jed, his passion for Joe means that Jed can tell Joe everything about him. Passion is liberating because Jeds soul has been revealed to Joe.However, it could also be said that passion is imprisoning as Jed says our love has to include it all, which could be seen as imprisoning as it means Joe has to know everything about Jed and Jed has to know everything about Joe. This could be imprisoning as it means they have no privacy. Page 97 Does it horrify you that I can see through you so easily? I hope it thrills you, the way it thrills me when you guide me with your messages, these codes that tap straight into my soul Jed believes that he completely understands Joe, because of their love.This passion is liberating as Jed believes that his passion for Joe has given him the ability to understand him easily. Chapter 13 I wanted to suggest that we talked in the garden, under the blossom, in the fresh air. Top of page 113 This particular quote could be taking very literally Joe feels imprisoned in the house, trapped by Mrs Logans passionate grief over the death of her husband. If she comes near this house, Jean Logan said simply as the accession behind us opened and two children came into the roo m, Ill kill her. God help me but I will. Page 117 last paragraph. This quote is a soundly example of just how imprisoned by passion Mrs Logan is. With the picnic that she has kept, and the over-analysis of the rose water on the scarf, along with this quote we can tell how trapped by the idea of her husband having an battle she is. However, whether her husband turns out to have been cheating or not, both outcomes will be distressing for her. If he really was she will have to live with the idea that she was unfaithful, if he never did she has to live with the knowledge that she suspected him, even after he died a hero.On the other hand it could also be said that she is liberated by this passion as it gives her something to focus on other than the loss of her husband. Imagining what it would mean and save our love. Page 112, countenance paragraph. perceive Mrs Logans grief reignites in Joe his passion for Clarissa, which in turn liberates him from his obsession with Jed, albeit on ly temporarily. He realises that he needs to try to save their relationship. Chapter 14 pg118 It was with a touch of sadness that Clarissa sometimes told me that I would have made a wonderful father. Here, Joes love for Clarissa is presented as being imprisoning as Joe is willing (and happy) to keep with Clarissa despite saying that loves only use was reproduction. It is ironic that later in the book Joe and Clarissa adopt a child, have his attitudes changed towards the purpose of love? Joes passion for rationality might restrict him from committing to Clarissa as they cannot reproduce together. Joe is torn between his want or even need to be a father, and wanting to stay with the love of his life.Pg118 I see myself through that childs eyes, and remember how I regarded gravids when I was small. They seemed a grey crew to me, too fond of sitting down, too keen on small talk, too accustomed to having nothing to look forward to. The notion of rationality being a kind of innocence or naivety as pointed out by Clarissa is reinforced here. Adults are often restricted by commitments, duties, morals etc. puerility can be considered a small period of freedom as children do not have the duties or commitments that an adult does.Thus, Joe is liberated by his passion for rationality (if we adopt the view that rationality is a kind of innocence) as he is not confined by the 9-5 regularity of a mundane adult life. pg121 Was my life to be entirely subordinate to other peoples obsessions? It is clear that Joe is imprisoned by Jeds love towards him, as he himself develops an obsession with finding threats in Jeds actions. This comes very close to ruining Joe and Clarissas relationship. Therefore we can say that Jeds love for Joe is imprisoning for Joe as he is in a mental cage of which he cannot escape.At this point, Joe is talking about being subordinate to Jean Logans obsession about finding the truth about her late husband. The book is very centred on obsessions and the fact that McEwan infers that Joes mental health is gradually deteriorating shows that Joe is being destroyed by the obsessions. Tension is also built, as again Joe cannot escape from them. Why does Joe agree to phone the other people from the accident when he seems so intent on avoiding further trouble? Chapter 15 He (Parry) said, Im bonny well off you know. I can get people to do things for me.Anything I want. Theres always someone who needs the money. Whats surprising is how cheap it is, you know, for something youd never do yourself? Though at the time Parry seems to be referring to the ease of hiring a researcher, the subtle threat that lies underneath these words stems from his passion (as does pretty much anything Parry does) and he ends up trapping Joe, who will now have to go around worrying about what Parry could do. We were so happy in our reunion, so easy with each other, and now I could not quite imagine a route back into that innocence. Thanks to the passion of the la st few weeks both Jeds passion for Joe and Joes speculated return passion for Jed, both Joe and Clarissa (and pretty much every other character) are now trapped, waiting for the story they are in to unfold, and cannot get back to the way things were. Chapter 16 Jeds Second Letter Page 133 He needs my help, I told myself whenever I came close to giving up, he needs me to set him free from his little cage of reason. Jed feels that his passion for Joe and his passion for his faith can liberate Joe from his beliefs in science and reason.Joes passion for science is imprisoning him in a cage of reason where he cannot understand faith. Page 136 one day youll be glad to say, deliver me from meaninglessness Jed believes that his passion for his faith will make Joe want to be liberated from the meaninglessness of science and reason. Page 137 In four years journalism, not a word about the real things like love and faith. Passion is imprisoning because Joes passion for science is imprison ing him for expressing and believing in the importance of love and faith. Chapter 17Pg141 I had started this love affair and I should therefore face my responsabilities towards him. Jeds obsession with Joe has now become so intrinsic to Joes life that he is led to believe that he is the cause of it. Jeds letters are persuasive enough that Joe almost seems to accept that it was he who started Parrys erotomania, this imprisons Joe as he thinks he is to blame and possibly to blame for the breakdown of his and Clarissas relationship as he also reflects again upon his luck of his ending up with Clarissa if he is so oafishly large and coarse(pg140) makes Joe feel inadequate I wanted more than that (hint of threat).I longed for it. Please put the weapon in my hands, Jed. One little threat would have given me enough to take to the police, but he denied me. Joe is in a sort of limbo, the obsession is too much for Joe to just ignore, but too small for the police to take any sort of action. Therefore, Joe is restricted by Jeds love as although he might say something in his letters that Joe could meticulously infer was a threat, Jeds love for Joe is too noticeable for him to be overtly threatening. Pg143 This was loves prison of self-reference. Jeds solipsism is imprisoning as said by Joe, for Joe or Jed?Jed refuses to be affected by external factors as Joe tries to create these signals himself, he lives in his own world creating his own signals that supposedly come from Joe. Chapter 18 Clarissa thought her emotions were the appropriate guide, that she could feel her way to the truth This shows passion to be almost liberating as Clarissa believes her passion towards Joe, and almost her passion towards emotion and her beliefs will bring her to the truth and will help her to find what she needs. I self-possessed all Parrys letters together lacing each in a plastic folder. Here we see how passion can be imprisoning, as Jeds passion for Joe is imprisoning Joe, as it ha s made Joe obsessive in a way and makes him feel like he needs to spend a lot of time on this. So we see that is it bothering him, as he cant do anything about it and so it is constantly on his mind. its because one of our little playful episodes brought me for the first time in my life on the edge of the invisible pitch. Here we see how Joes passion for Clarissa and also reading and broadening his mind both are liberating to him.As we see how this is a significant moment for Joe, which has stuck in his mind because it mixed the two things he was so passionate about, which obviously made him happy. Analysis of Chapter 22 In this chapter, Jed Parrys emotions are presented clearly, he feels emotionally imprisoned by his love for Joe, and has veto Clarissa to leave the apartment. In this chapter, Joes emotions reach the peak, this is shown because previous chapters he states how alone he feels which lead him to purchase the gun for protection.The authorities have ignored Joes cause o f concerns which leaves him feeling imprisoned and following a criminal root to resolve the situation. His imprisonment is presented when he says It was just another of those inert devices you wrap at home after shopping- mobile phone, VTR, microwave- and wonder how difficult its going to be to bring it to life he is trying to come to terms with the situation by relating it to things that he is familiar with such as home devices.These are the rumbling giants of this lower world for not far below the hreshold of visibility was the buzz world of roundworms- the scavengers and the predators who red on them This reference to natures cycle possibly portrays his feelings towards the situation with Jed, that beneath the surface there are always complications for eccentric Jeds emotions are deeper- it is an illness. Furthermore, the problems are not always visible just like Jeds illness people are not listening to Joe which is making him imprisoned. Possibly the cycle reflects how Joe fee ls trapped in an emotional rollercoaster with Jed, unable to escape like the creatures who are in a food chain cycle. Round the back, where the dustbins were kept, was a locked fire escape for which only residents had the key Another cycle has been created, as Joe says I havent been out here since the morning after Logans accident, after Parrys phone call as we are taken back to when everything went wrong- the ballooning accident. Possibly the cycle portrays how trapped Joe feels unable to break away from Jeds love, and feeling alone with no support from the authorities. Several relations to cycles emphasises how cover Joe feels. Chapter 23 Weve loved each other passionately and loyally. Their love for each other has both liberated them.On the one hand, Joes love and passion for Clarissa drives him to keep things from her and eventually results in him shooting Parry before he could do any damage but he is liberated from the relationship (at the time) because Clarissa still wants ti me apart. Perhaps it became a substitute for the science you wanted to be doing Joes passion for science makes Clarissa believe that Jed was like a science experiment to Joe, and because Joe is so passionate about science he threw himself into researching everything he could about Jed but he imprisoned himself and became more distant and isolated from Clarissa.Chapter 24 I dreaded more personal talk in such an enclosed space (page 222) Their previous passion now means they cannot be so close together and quotes such as the above, or we were in six feet of space, articulatio humeri to shoulder in fact suggest that they are imprisoned together, even though Joe desires liberation from the situation. A rule never to be seen together in Oxford (page 228) Even though Bonnie and Reid seem to love each other, the fact that they are a teacher and student means they are imprisoned to not be seen around Oxford.Another side of the argument is that passion has liberated Reid, as he feels that it ll be a relief to resign. But whos going to forgive me? (page 230) Jean Logan will now likely be imprisoned by guilt for the rest of her life, as she falsely accused John of an affair her passion for him led to her almost going insane and coming up to baseless conclusions, much as Jed did, and now she is suffering for it. Appendix The whole letterThis letter is ironic due to the fact that his enduring love and passion for Joe has mentally imprisoned him as well as physically imprisoning him. Page 245 Ive never felt so free This phrase is completely ironic as Jed believes that his love and passion for Joe has freed him however his love and passion for Joe has imprisoned him in a mental asylum. Page 245 Thank you for loving me The idea that this passion he feels for Joe is real and reciprocated is one of the various imprisoning thoughts in Jeds head.
