Connection

Their is an old film called “The collector.” The premise of which relies on the idea of “Stockholm syndrome.” I think their are two clear instances of this in the book. I think Lo experiences this syndrome towards Carrie and she even asks herself if she is feeling this way towards Carrie. She starts thanking Carrie for bringing her things and is even trying to cooperate with her despite the fact she is her captor. Then of course, Carrie also has then syndrome towards Richard. She can see “the writing on the wall.” She has to realize that Richard does not actually love her and that he plans to eventually kill her. This is pointed out to her rather aggressively by Lo but she completely denies it and instead reaffirms for devotion and love for Richard.
