All these things were magic, but I touched them and lived- the magic had gone out of them. Let me tell one thing to show. In the washing- place, a thing said "Hot"but it was not hot to the touch- another thing said "Cold" but it was not cold. This must have been a strong magic but the magic was gone.
This showed that the narrator was rather ignorant about what the outside world is like. The thing that said "Hot" and "Cold" is most likely going to be a modern faucet, yet since his group of people and him could be inferred to be ignorant and not knowing what is going on in the outside world, he did not know what it was and how it worked. Instead, he thought that there has been a strong magic but has gone away.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that these utilities have already exist indicates that the narrator is living in either the present time or in a post-apocalyptic future. It seems to be the latter, as one would typically be more probable because he lives in a society; societies are generally not found in "lost" tribes/communities. It appears that they do not know how electricity works either. nooooooooooobs
