Provocations

The Nether begins with an interrogation between Morris; the detective, and Sims; the victim. Morris is questioning Sims to find out more information about his realm, otherwise known as “The Hideaway”. Detective Morris is more interested in the server, which is the machine where they store the code for the Hideaway rather than charging Sims (Haley).  The dilemma here is, is it appropriate that Sims is able to live out his fantasy of touching children, along with other men who participate. Or is it okay since they are just fantasies.

Question- Should writers continue to write novels on perspectives that may be misunderstood by society. Will it be beneficial?

  1. Interesting questions. However, Sims is not the “victim,” he is the perpetrator. He is the one accused of the crime. Who is/are the victim(s) in this play?

  2. The question is very well asked. I agree with the person above that Sims is not the “Victim”. I do believe that he was accused for the crime.

  3. For your question i think they should keep it in the special area of The Nether where no one can get too besides them. In that world society and life is completely different to what we have ever lived so far in our life.

  4. I think authors should write things that their audience may not understand because it keeps the readers thinking and sometimes it can even make it more interesting to read. In the end it amy be beneficial for the author and the readers.

  5. This is a good summary of the opening scene and when describing it gave good details to show how intense it was. Also a very good question.
