a. If you knew that something intended to have you for dinner, you’d probably stay as far away as possible. Stefano doesn’t do that. How do you explain his behavior – why does he continue to risk his life at sea?
Stefano’s behavior was a little crazy. I think he continued to risk his life at sea because he wanted to be like his father but when he saw the Colomber his father told him to never leave the land. Finally when he was 22 years his mother thought he was abandoning his family traditions.
b. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life?
If Stefano would have faced the Colomber sooner he would have had a better life. But at the end of the story he faced his fears by going out to sea to confront the Colomber and it gave him a pearl that brought luck, power, love and peace of mind to whoever possessed it.
c. Let’s assume that the colomber wasn’t real. If it wasn’t, what was Stefano’s “monster” that kept him coming back to the sea? Explain your answer.
I think it was a ghost or shadow that kept him coming back to sea because he couldn’t stop thinking about it as a kid.
d. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. What is the author trying to tell us through the story of Stefano in The Colomber? Explain.
I think the author is trying to tell us that if had faced his fears earlier he would have had a better life because it wasn’t as bad as he thought it was.
