A Long Way Down 2


I was surprised and confused when J.J. lied about his reason for wanting to commit suicide, claiming that he had a terminal illness. In some ways it made it seem as if he didn’t really want to die, especially because it would seem that the other characters no longer care about the opinions of others, being more focused on themselves. For example, Martin didn’t really care about leaving the people he was having dinner with when he went to go commit suicide. However, it could have been an example of how invisible J.J. feels, that he has to stand out at least one last time.
