Identities are fragile things; you set up a dividing line in your life that can collapse in an instant, that can never be reestablished. You yourself have already come close to the secret so many times, come so close to stumbling into the clandestine global conflict that is my nightly pursuit. In this passage you see the use of a line as many symbolisms. It can be seen as the straight and narrow, which the person didn't follow. A life form and and fragile they are or just how easily they can change. The "can never be reestablished" is also reminiscent towards no matter how hard you try you can never make a line the exact same ever. Once it's there, unless you change it or erase it it won't change. But remaking it will never get the same results. Just this one section really uses a lot of symbolism and the rest of the writing surly has more packed into it.
The connections that I make are that it has to do with villains and super heroes. It makes me think of comic books and also Megamind. Megamind is all about a villain dating a girl that doesn't know who he "truly" is and then later breaks up with him. So the whole time I was thinking about the way that the villain was just like Megamind and how pompous he was. Also how the character acted to his "work". When the character in the paper was discussing the way he was interchanging the roles of the suites and the reason he was acting funny it made me think of how Megamind also interchanged. The thing though that made more sense with Megamind though was that the story was shown and then you also had the background of what he was thinking.
Since it reminds me so much of an already movie I think that it would be ok as a short or maybe a open mic poetry night. Maybe a short play. I would make the writing less vague because I was, and am, still confused as to what is going on. Throughout the piece I was wondering how long it was and why this person was giving vague back stories to stories I didn't have a clue about. Maybe if there was the other side to the story and then you saw the side of his story. It would be interesting if it was a poetry night though where there was both sides.
