Comment on Ari's Post

       I can see where you're coming from here, and I agree with your logic. Sal is most definitely a character who wants but cannot take- perhaps he has the ability but not the will. But I do think that that is his pattern. I think he definitely has a pattern the same way silence has a pattern: It's constantly the same thing because nothing is happening. I believe your second claim is contradictory to your first in that the fact that he consistently shows the desire to make the more dynamic decision but never has the balls to do so is indeed a pattern. Whatever personality Sal has, it seems to have one function, and that function is to be a little bitch. So we're definitely on the same page in terms of defining Sal, but unfortunately for both of us I do believe that to be a definite pattern- there is not one moment where Sal makes a ballsy choice, it's always the same thing from him.
