Sailing to Capri Passage Explication

In Sailing to Capri, Elizabeth Adler creates spontaneous characters by using imagery in order to convey the purpose of the novel. Towards the end of the book, Harry Montana reads the individual letters that Bob had written to all the suspects and Daisy Keane describe in a passage about the consequences of all the suspects. Elizabeth Adler suggests that no matter how hard people try to escape from the crime they’ve commit in the end they’ll get caught. But for those who commit no crime will be safe from all harm.

Elizabeth Adler creates a witty, intelligent, and sophisticated character in Robert Hardwick, by convincing the murderer to tell the truth through his will. He basically describe his love for them and gives them a second chance in life by offering them money and a new home. After hearing the will, Roberts ex-lover, Rosalia admits that she killed him because her friend Hector had tricked her into calling Robert by saying it was him. And once Rosalia called the number she had activated explosive device in Robert’s car that Hector had affixed. In this passage when the truth has been told, Adler uses the imagery to convey the meaning of the novel. After, Hector “made a run for the door but the guards moved to block him…and headed for the French doors with the guards after him” (343). As Hector ran Daisy snagged him because she was outraged that he killed Robert for money. So Hector decides to hold her hostage. “He swung around, got her neck in a headlock and held her in front of him” (343). In a few seconds later a storm burst open the French doors and Hector dragged Daisy “out to the edged onto the terrace”(344). Daisy has always been a good person, she never commit a crime and only helped people. She was a good friend and kind assistant to Bob. So at that crucial moment, she begged silently to Robert, “Help me, Bob. Please help me” (344). And out of nowhere a mini- tornado came, “circling and swirling, shafting between them like a sword. Hector was knocked to the ground.”(344). Montana grabbed Daisy away from her threat and Hector made his way toward the blue door that led from the garden and onto the cliff. Montana stopped everyone who tried to go after him. He said that there is no where for him to run because this is an island and the storm is hitting hard and the police are waiting for him. Everyone stayed inside and Daisy wept her eyes out but no major harm was put on her physically except for the bruise around her neck. In the end Hector was surrounded by the police on the cliff. Hector “made a run for it, it was dark and wet, he didn’t know the terrain. A fissure runs deep into the cliffs there; obviously he didn’t see it….found his body on the rocks below” (355).

Therefore Elizabeth Adler suggestion that no matter how hard people try to escape from the crime they’ve commit in the end they’ll get caught is true. Hector eventually died as a penalty for taking someone else life. And Daisy is safe and happy because she hadn’t committed any crime.
