How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
When the streets felt too confining [the Jinni] would travel the rooftops, which were like a city unto themselves. (9.15)
The Jinni is probably the only creature that finds New York City confining, but he does what he can to break free of those figurative shackles of apartment life. Being out on the rooftops and having a pristine view of the sky is closer to desert life than being on the streets surrounded by buildings.
Quote #5
If [the Rabbi] succeeded, and bound her to a new master, he would be robbing her of all she'd accomplished. Her free will would disappear, to be replaced by her master's commands. (10.109)
On the surface, it seems like the Rabbi is going to do something terrible, taking away the Golem's free will. But what if she doesn't want it anyway? If a slave wants to be a slave does that make enslavement okay?
