" 'Are these the shadows of the things the Will be or are they shadows of the things that My be, only?' But the Ghost of the Future was not answering." In this chapter Owen Meany is casted as the ghost of the future in A Christmas Carol. While on stage during his preformance Owen completly frezzes and faints. He later tells Johnny that he had seen his name on the tomb stone. This reenforces the fact that Owen Meany is indeed a Christ Figure because he is some what ompnitient about the future in the way Jesus was ompnitient of his death. After Johnny that Owen said the tomb stone had the whole "thing" on it; he realized the would also have meant the date...
" ' Was there a date on the gravestone?' I asked him. He gave himself away by hesitated.
'NO,' he said."
How will knowing the date of his date change Owen's demeanor? And why is he so reluctant to tell his best friend. Johnny, what will be the time of his death?
I reacted wareily towards his lying to his friend and it peaked my interest into why he didn't tell; or how Johnny felt about knowing the his best friend might die soon.
