Misery Post 1

Our novel group feels that Annie is a disturbed woman and that she identifies with Paul's character Misery. We all feel that Annie has an obsession with this character, and that she has an obsession with Paul due to the way she treats him and doesn't want him to leave. We also agree that Paul is being treated like a prisoner by her, and that she is very hot-tempered. Annie is very selfish. We all feel that it is crazy how she got so angry with Paul and punished him by abandoning him and not feeding him or giving him his pain medication because he killed off Misery in his last book. It is obvious that Annie is deranged, and Paul is going through a tremendous amount of pain and suffering in the beginning. Hopefully Paul will be rescued at some point in the novel!
