Evei   10 #2 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I believe the island to be an example of his state of mind. Like it is representing his madness, he finds everything he needs on it but in the end there is nothing on it there for him, it is the last thing he has to hang onto until he reaches land.  As for the mother, I always felt the orangutan represented his mother.... The idea of the book is you have your own beliefs/ faith. Edited January 13, 2013 by Evei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
