These next 4 chapters focus on what is going on after the characters escape the house. Navidson, Karen, Reston, and the children have made it out of the house but that does not mean they are necessarily safe. Tom unfortunately died within the house when he went in to get Daisy. Although the family made it out together, Karen and Navidson separated. Karen and the kids went to stay with Karen’s mother while Navidson stayed alone; alone with his obsession over the house. Karen made a short film about their experience and had quite a few people watch it and comment it. We learned more about Karen's life and about how her dad raped her and her sister as children, forcing one to stay in a well. This explains Karen's claustrophobia and certainly justifies it. We also learn Karen had an affair at some point while she was with Navidson. It is clear that Karen constantly seeks attention from males to resolve some sort of insecurity she has. It seems as though all the characters in the book are dealing with insecurities in unhealthy ways. We also learn about Johnny Truant's mother who he seems to have loved and cared for very deeply. She wore a locket with a letter from him inside it, implying that she felt the same. These few chapters have not been as exciting as the previous ones. I am wondering what the rest of the book is about if the family has supposedly left the house.
Questions:
What is the significance of Johnny's mother's locket? What did the letter say?
Did the house cause Navidson psychological damage?
Will Johnny Truant ever get his normal life back?
