Joe HillA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
Near the end of the novel, Victoria McQueen (“Vic”) realizes that Charles Manx believes he is protecting the children he takes to Christmasland. If the children he takes no longer suffer, and if he does not actually kill them, does this change the nature of his crimes? Discuss your reasons.
Hill puts a great emphasis on the Tuff Rider, Triumph, and the Wraith, as essential parts of the identities of Vic and Manx. How do Vic’s transportation choices mirror her character and her narrative trajectory? What about Manx?
Margaret Leigh (“Maggie”) says that the Wraith allows Manx to steal the humanity of his victims. What exactly does she mean? What does Wayne’s character trajectory reveal about her statement?
