The main idea the author is trying to convey is that the narrator is haunted by the dream.

“Time, and repeated screenings, have endowed the memory with a menace the original did not possess.”

“I suppose we’d simply thought about it too much, talked of it too often, until the scheme ceased to be a thing of the imagination”

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

The author is implying that the action the narrator recalls having taken was something morally reprehensible.

“It was many hours before I was cognizant of what we’d done; days (months? years?) before I began to comprehend the magnitude of it.”

“. . . the scheme ceased to be a thing of the imagination and took on a horrible life of its own.”

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

45 sec • 1 pt

The author is implying that the narrator feels no remorse for this action, but knows he should feel regret.

“. . . the scheme ceased to be a thing of the imagination and took on a horrible life of its own . . . . Never, never once in any immediate sense, did it occur to me that any of this was anything but a game.”

“I watched it all happen quite calmly—without fear, without pity, without anything but a kind of stunned curiosity—so that the impression of the event is burned indelibly upon my optic nerves, but oddly absent from my heart.”
