Krik Krak 4 - Night Women

Talked in class about the possibility or Lili being the mother and the son is Little Guy. Keeping that in mind while reading the story I took the following notes




  • 'Tonight I am much older than the twenty-five years that I have lived" 
    • The mother is remaining unnamed which leaves the question as to who it is, and if it really would be Lili.
  • She has to live in prostitution because she is, first of all, a woman meaning that she can't get many jobs and there are a few maid jobs but those are so hard to find.  
  • She does have a son
    • Seems to be young enough to buy the lie that angels come
    • Old enough to be called a man in the lines 
    • Said to be big enough
  • There is little to no money and they mention being in one sack and having scraps if things nad nothing new 
  • Red scarf 
    • If Lili is the woman it old represent the blood of her husband's death
    • Son wears it oo 
    • Tempt suitors
      • If Lili again she couldn't really find another man because of her husbands legacy
  • Wearing his Sunday clothes to bed
    • Usually formal and he is careful not to wrinkle them so he knows that he has to keep them clean and not messy even though he is sleeping
  • SOn wears the scarf to have something of her further pushing the blood of the farther
  • Talks about the sky
    • Lili didn't close her husband's eyes so that he could look at the sky 
      • Holes int eh ceiling so suitors can look at the sky
  • "I am stuck between the day and night in a golden amber bronze"
    • Lili used to be a day woman but now that her husband is gone she is a night woman
  • She believes that ghost women are with her so that they can stay 
  • Mention the butterflies again
  • remembrance is all over this book
    • Remember the people that are there and remember what their lies are like
