Quote #10
He had lived all his life in Dorning, but the town had suddenly changed. He recognized nothing. Houses loomed that he had never seen before. He tried to sight the clock tower. He followed one street that appeared familiar. It ended in a blind alley which should not have been there. He doubled back in panic. (2.30)
Theo grew up in Dorning and probably knows it like the back of his hand, but the mind reacts strangely when under a lot of pressure. He's fleeing from the authorities raiding Anton's shop, so stress makes the town look like a place he's never visited before. It symbolizes the mass of confusion his life has become.
