Chapter Thirty-Seven, #2: Your Lyin' Eyes

Your optical sense says:  "These stalks are broken."
In Chapter 37, Campbell confesses to “a ghostly lack in myself. Anything I see or hear or feel or taste or smell is real to me. I am so much a credulous plaything of my sense that nothing is unreal to me” (213).

Why do you think he describes his trust in his senses as a flaw? What kind of person doesn’t trust her senses?

    This is Cerina Stiles.
    He describes them as a flaw because they have failed him in the past. He doesn’t want that to happen again so he mistrusts them so he will be more careful. A person who makes bad choices because of there senses has a reason to not trust there senses.
