Chapters 11&12

In these chapters Ammu has a dreamt that she is in love with a one armed man. The twins return from Velutha's house and awake her. She notices the saw dust on them and tells them no to go over there because they will only cause trouble. Ammu starts to question her sanity. SHe thinks she will go crazy because everyone in her family eventually goes crazy.

There is a flashback in these chapters to how CHacko locked Ammu out of her room four days after the funeral of Sophie Mol. I wonder how Sophie Mol dies. When will i find out? GAH! I'm so impatient...

I wonder if the one armed lover is Velutha. To my knowledge Velutha has two arms, but maybe he'll lose one or soemthing. I hope the lover is Velutha. He's such a nice guy.

It's too bad that Ammu is doomed to go crazy. I already know she goes semi-crazy from a previous flashback.

Estha was sent away to school in these chapters. Separating the twins wasn't a good thing to do. They have a special bond and they are like one human being. I personally would not have done it. I think Chacko has something to do with Estha being sent away, but im not entirely sure as of yet.

The story in chapter 11 reminds me of Oedidipus a little. The lady says she wont harm the four children, but the fifth one might kill her or she might kill it. Terribly wierd. Stories of fate like this one and Oedipus creep me out.
