Paul was also diametrically opposite in behaviour to Saul after being healed, he stopped persecuting the Christians and preached of Jesus. (The hermit is who the narrator was in the distant past, before whatever tragedy occured: Paul and 'Saul' refer to the narrator as he is now, with multiple personalities. 'I find myself increasingly unable to find that point where the hermit ends and Paul and I begin.' The narrator here has perhaps gone mad, and is recognising that he no longer has one ego, and has gained additional personalities/identities) (This references to the bible story of Saul, who then became Paul after having his sight restored by Jesus, en route to Damascus. We drank coffee in his kitchen and tried to connect to one another.' My Damascus a small semi-detached on the outskirts of Wolverhampton.

(References to the Bible story of Lot, his wife turned back and was turned to salt, implies that turning back and inspecting the past would destroy him, also implies that he wants to move forward.) 'We are not like LotвЂ™s wife, you and I we feel no particular need to turn back.' (i.e, a psychological affliction is apparent, in addition to a physical ailment.) '.The infection is not simply of the flesh.' Severe tragedy may have created a loss that could not be overcome and thus delusion is employed to surmount psychological anguish.) (The narrator doesn't know anything, and has rather made it all up, to create a sense of purpose or give reasons for how he feels as he does. '.I find myself easily slipping into the delusional state of ascribing purpose, deliberate motive to everything here.' The narrator is mad and finds peace through recurring delusion.) Also, some of the 'vacuums' are manufactured, even - i.e, tragedies may have been made up to enable the mind to construct more fantasies.

(The sadness he feels, is what populates the island: the island is a construction from some sort of depression or madness, created by an overactive mind within a 'vacuum' of emotion/meaning. I began to manufacture vacuums, just to enable you to deploy your talent.' '.you cried to fill whatever vacuum you found. (Implying all you see is a contradiction) 'ThereвЂ™s nothing better to do here than indulge in contradictions.' (Narrator is trapped, lost in this misery or madness) I have lost track of how long I have been here, and how many visits I have made overall.' '.I sometimes feel as if IвЂ™ve given birth to this island.' Certificate of Qualification in Electrics Polaroid of a young girl standing in front of a car
