By the letter adds suspense and moves the story forward, the letter can be viewed as a form of self-awareness. The letter is what we are most aware of in our lives.
In order to use the letter effectively, we have to know what it means. For example, if we read the letter, we know that it is from a friend, and that it is a letter we thought we never would get (hence the “letter” part). We know that it is a letter we would never want anyone to read, and that it might have bad news. But the letter itself is always ambiguous. There’s no clear message.
This letter’s ambiguity, its ambiguity in terms of what we know about the letter, and its ambiguity in terms of what we know about the people who wrote it, is what makes it so powerful. So for example, if we read the letter, we can only interpret it positively. If we read it negatively, we can only interpret it negatively.
This ambiguity is what allows readers to see the letter as a threat. Because it is always ambiguous whether the letter is actually a threat or a letter we would never want anyone to read, it’s the ambiguity that helps us understand and interpret the letter as an ambiguous threat. It is ambiguous because we don’t know whether the letter is a threat or a letter we would never want anyone to read.
Our interpretation of the letter as a threat depends in part on the letters contents. The letter’s header is full of references to the letter’s author: Colt has written the letter to someone named “Ethan,” but we dont know who Ethan is. The letter’s body is completely self-contained: It contains the same general information that the letter does but without any specific hints or references to the letter’s author. This can be good or bad for the letter.
The letter itself says that the Visionary, Ethan, has stolen the letter and that Colt needs to write one to him. We know this because the letter also contains the phrase “if you don’t pay, we will kill you.” The letter’s threat is a little vague, but it is implied that Colt will have to pay to the Visionaries or risk their deaths. In fact, Colt will be paying.
It’s also implied that Colt will be paying. But that’s not so important right now. The letter also contains a message that says anything that is written after this will be read and remembered by the Visionaries. This is a bit of a spoiler, but I think it’s worth mentioning. The letter is a bit ambiguous about where and how the letters will go from there.
The letter is pretty vague, but it has some strong clues to where the story is going, as the letters are left at different locations throughout the letter. It’s also implied that the letter is written by someone who doesn’t know who Colt is.
Its also implied that the letter is written by someone who doesnt know who Colt is.
The letter is a bit ambiguous about where and how the letters will go from there.
