Anatomy of Fate and Causality #5: Why Does Casca See the Same Scenes Every Time She Remembers “That Day”?
Casca, whose mind collapsed after the tragedy of the Eclipse.
She has lost her words and wanders the world like a small child. Yet when she faces certain stimuli—the presence of something demonic, or situations that evoke violence—she is seized by violent panic and flashes back to fragments of her memories of “that day.”
But when we carefully examine the flashback scenes she experiences in the story, we find a decisive gap between “what we, the readers, understand” and “what Casca herself perceives.”
What she sees in her flashbacks, and what she never sees—this chapter pursues the truth behind that eerie imbalance.
1) Casca’s Point of View: She Knows Nothing of “the Truth of the Eclipse”
In the rest of this chapter (Section 1 through the Conclusion), we examine the scenes Casca sees again and again in her flashbacks, drawing on three episodes from the story. We then explore, through three hypotheses, why "the greatest core" alone is never remembered.
