How2PK Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Right. It's a novel and there are various movies made of it. I've seen Ossesione and the '46 movie. But what does the title mean?? I haven't read the book. But could somebody please explain. We kind of lost about it at work and it's really frustrating. My collegue THINKS it's something like when something happened in a bad way it means something like "it doesn't really matter", and I was THINKING more something like "You'll get a second chance in life" when something bad happens. Now that I type it I realize that they're pretty close to eachother. But yea, could somebody deliver us from this. Thanks a lot. And a hug from me and my collegue Vincent if you educate us.

Bubsa Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 You're on the right track. Cain, when trying to get the novel published, was rejected loads of times, can't quite remember how many. He went on the verge of madness, waiting for word of success or failure to his last application again and again. In a sense, you could interpret literally; Cain would be sitting, waiting for the news by post for days on end. Then, the metaphorical reasoning behind it, to always try and try again in the face of adversity, lies in the novel itself and can be compared to how a Postman will always try again when ringing the door, before leaving you a delivery notice. Probably not of the same magnitude as the book's contents, but hey. I'll take my hug in cash form? Preferably Pound Sterling. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

How2PK Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thanks, babe. I'm afraid it's not possible to pay you in pound sterling. But because it's you I'll add some kisses to it.
