I still thing it is the other way round. Originally.. I said that the sorcerer trapped the author behind the door for his own benefit….that maybe he is forcing the author to write certain things, or sabotage his work (page 2 of this thread and elsewhere a week ago). Perhaps the sorcerer is evil and is punishing the author for not writing a happy ending, or is forcing him to do so, but the author is finding create ways to not give him it.
I’d like to add that the reason why I think the sorcerer has bad intentions or is evil because he possesses a hat that sucks people into it. Yes, that could be a good way to get rid of some truly bad people, but I can’t help but shake off the feeling that any magical person with that kind of hat is not going to be at least a tad shady.
I think that’s a very good point. And if the dagger is connected to the hat (the dagger makes the hat box open, ect) then I would say the Sorcerer is more tied to the dark side
That’s a great point, as well, about the dagger. Also the purpose of sucking people into the hat is to use their power…and that can’t be good.
Edit: I also wonder if the hat originally belonged to the author (to help him write his stories?), but then the sorcerer stole it from him along with the author’s books (including the blank ones), tweaked the hat to change its purpose to trapping people to use their magical power, and then trapped the author behind the door.
Or maybe those blank books (currently in our world) keep a record of what the author is writing behind the door…that way the sorcerer knows exactly what is going on in each world without having to travel there himself to find out…a bit like the typewriter also being another conduit and receiver of whatever the author writes behind the door.
Anyway, I am going 0ff-topic, so I will leave it there.
