Tangerine

Near the end of the novel, even though Erik's eyes are now "mere slits," (p.270), is it possible that he sees things clearly for the first time? What is the "cage" that he has made for himself? (p.292). Could his pacing perhaps be because he remembers what he has done to Paul?

Erik's cage is jail. I do not, however, believe that he is thinking about what he did to Paul..... Erik thinks of no one but himself.
