Wild strawberries


The man he had just spun around then melts into the sidewalk so to say. .
             He then continues to proceed down the street when he encounters a horse and carriage. The horse and carriage which is hauling a casket which, when the carriage crashed into a lamp post the casket fell and opened up for Isak to see his own corpse staring back at him. He also heard a baby-crying coming from the carriage. This I felt was very eerie. I feel that between the symbolism of the no handed clock and the open casket, that it was almost like a message to him that his time is almost up. This dream occurs the night before he is supposed to fly to Lund to receive an honorary award for his intellectual accomplishments over the past fifty years as a doctor.
             When he awakens from his dream it is about three in the morning. He goes and awakens Agda his housekeeper and tells her of his plans to drive to Lund instead. He asked her to come along and she refused. The drive from where he lives to Lund would take about fourteen hours. As Agda and Isak are discussing the new plans of the trip, his daughter-in-law Marianne walks in. Marianne has been staying with as she calls him Uncle Isak for a few weeks now. She expresses her desire to go along with him on his journey to Lund. She expresses her wish to go with him because that is where her husband Evald is and she wants to try and reconcile their differences. .
             Isak agrees that Marianne can go along considering Agda denied Isak's request. Agda helps Isak pack for his voyage and she leaves it at that. Isak and Marianne then set out for their road trip to Lund together. Where Isak finds out that Marianne is in fact pregnant which would explain the baby crying in his earlier dream.
             Along their journey, Isak will have to deal with several issues from both the past and the present and at the end they will result in what changes he makes in his future. This as was said in class would be how you can compare between the events in Ebenezer Scrooges life and that of Isak Borg's.
