wives, so that he may „cuckold‟ the men.

32. KEY QUOTES – THE COLLECTOR
 “He is solid; immovable, iron-willed. He showed me one day his
killing bottle. I'm imprisoned in it. Fluttering against the glass.
Because I can see through it I still think I can escape. I have
hope. But it's all an illusion.
A thick round wall of glass.”
 “I love making, I love doing. I love being to the full, I love
everything which is not sitting and watching and copying and
dead at heart.”
 “I am one in a row of specimens. It's when I try to flutter out of
line that he hates me. I'm meant to be dead, pinned, always the
same, always beautiful. He knows that part of my beauty is
being alive. but it's the dead me he wants. He wants me living-
but-dead.”
