As much as I love reading, especially those thick, 500 hundred pages ones, The Magus was just... What's the word.. ridiculous?? I didn't like how it started. It definitely did not give me a good impression that it was going to be good book to read. But I went on reading it anyway.. Urfe was mysterious, arrogant, "Mr-too-good-for-anyone", complicated..
"I wrote a letter in reply to say that I had been expecting her letter, that she was perfectly free. But I tore it up. If anything might hurt her, silence would; and I wanted to hurt her," (The Magus 55)
And you wonder why Urfe is the way he is. He posed as a strong man, untouchable and unbeatable. Perhaps, he was afraid to get hurt. Vulnerability was never the go-to gift. He has been preparing himself since he was a child. There was barely a father figure because his father was hardly ever seen. When you start giving in to vulnerability, chances of getting hurt by a loved one are 50/50 in my opinion..
