Reading a little further into the novel, readers begin to realize that, much like in the real world, Nick’s actions are influenced by his own emotions and ambitions. As the reader, we can distinctly identify what Nick should and shouldn’t do, leading us to feel befuddled when he doesn’t make the obviously right decisions. The theme of the importance of the difference between right and wrong appears at many times in the book, with the plot built upon choices of the protagonist. Erebos is a story about Nick Dunmore, who gets stuck between these imaginary lines. The truth is, sometimes there is no line. Yet, as we get older, we get stumped on many occasions when we cannot clearly define what is black or white. Growing up, we all get the impression that everything in the world is simple and fits into one of two categories: right or wrong. Educators teach children at very young ages how important it is for them to make the right decisions. In the past century, Robert Frost has been one of many figures who have taught us that our current positions are products of the choices we make.
