Confused abot parts of plot
I have a few questions about the plot of "Choke," bear in mind that there will be SPOILERS ahead!
1. Did Dr. Paige Marshall just completely make up the entire story about Jesus's foreskin and Victor's mom being impregnated with it?
2. If Victor's mom kidnapped him from a stroller when he was an infant, why did she tell Denny (pretending to be Victor) that everything that Victor needs to know about his father is in her diary? Did the diary really just explain how she kidnapped Victor?
3. Is it ever stated exactly how Dr. Marshall escaped the hospital, because when she arrives at the empty lot at the end her medical bracelet is still intact.
4. Could someone simplify the ending for me? Including what Denny was doing with the stones, why the walls he built fell when the audience dropped their stones, and anything else that's really important that happened in the last few chapters?
Thanks you guys, sorry to bomb the forum with questions, but I would really just like to fully understand this book. I am a little upset that the ending of "Choke" was no where near as epic as the ending of "Invisible Monster." Thanks!!
It's been forever since I read it but the one thing I do remember is that, yeah, she did make up the whole thing with the foreskin.
As for her escaping, Id guess it was just she snuck out. Some one opened a door and she bolted before it closed and had a chance to lock or something like that. Something that "just is" because it's needed for the story and never really explained because it doesn't need to be explained fully.
Good luck with the other two questions.
It's been awhile since I have read Choke, so I might be fuzzy on the details, but wasn't her diary in Italian? So he had Dr. Paige Marshall translate it for him. And she didn't really translate it. She used it to get him to believe in her theory. So anything that was told to him was most likely made up. We don't know what the diary really said and so that means any type of answer can come from it.
I figured with the escaping she just escaped while someone was entering.
With Denny, I just figured he was trying to find some meaning. Just one of those things that happens in books to make you think about it.
Good arms vs bad arms will win hands down.
Anyone? Please, I would love to have some of these questions cleared up. Thanks!!
