House of Leaves Ch XVII-XX

These chapters come to a close many things are left unanswered. So far I can see that Karen is very close to Navidson, she has tried time and time to leave him but cant and so she runs away from everything. Her relationship with the children seems to be better compared to earlier chapters. As for Navidson I think this house will always remain within him as an obsession whether it may have killed him or not. For Johnny Truant his man is locked within his own world of demons pushing him farther from what is reality. Perhaps we don’t know that reality is true, maybe we fear so much to find out what reality is; that we make up this world that we live in, in order to hide from the truth.

The tapes, I really want to know what is on them.

Karen starts to show signs of becoming a little better, but is this a kind of front? Is he also the next victim?

Big question is Navidson still alive?

In the end “Light” is used to describe the last thing Navidson sees, Light itself can have many meanings.

Missing pages?
