Not Only Is This A Great Character Analysis This Is Practically Poetry - Tumblr Posts

While I agree with what Samuel is saying and think it sums up the "Was Rachel a good or bad person" debate pretty well, it's insane (In the good: "I'll think about this for ages" way) for Rachel to be compared to a light.

Because she is a light. She's a fire that gets mistaken for the sun.

She's so bright and warm and brilliant that you assume she's the sun. You assume she's the beauty in dawn and the amber hues in dusk. You assume she's what everything revolves around and what makes the world go around. But that assumption is wrong, because Rachel is a raging fire.

She IS bright and warm and brilliant. She's beautiful and radiant and frightening and so hard to tear your eyes away from. She's the rage in a forest and the warmth in a hearth. She's a torch that lights a lost man's way and the match that burns out. She's the beauty of candle and the ugliness of gasoline and a lighter.

She is Rachel Amer. A light that casts shadow. A flame that is both warm and unforgiving.
