House Chapter 13-16

The quote talks about an "escape" however the footnotes makes it seem like there is no escape, however. It's even dark outside. Karen likes control which might be the complete opposite of Navidson- although Navidson wants control of the house. Reston hears a noise, he goes away then knocks from the door. Lights go off during a thunderstorm which is a typical plot scene in a horror story. The family is about to leave when Karen starts to scream and Navidson's true love for Karen shows. The love between the two seems to get more complicated and difficult throughout the novel but there is a love or connection is present. The darkness takes Tom at the end of chapter 13.

Psychology is again shown through when it is revealed that Karen was raped in a dark well when she was a teenager. The relationshp shows why she was so afraind of the house and kept to herself, and therefore hated it when Navidson persisted on going on his explorations. The weird relationship between Navidson and Karen grows apart and changes because of the house. Yet, they love eachother in an awkward, untraditional way. With their shady pasts and their kids, and their new experience at the house, the relationship might rekindle and become an actual relationship once again.

Questions:
- Why did it take them so long to leave the house?
-What does the last sentence mean in Chapter 13, about "finding his mother?"
