S also asks a lot of questions about whether Sophia is happy and whether there is anything is wants changed or removed from her home and Sophia lies to him and I have a feeling that Mr. S is beautiful in Sophia’s eyes and when he plays for them she enters a kind of trance where we get some dark and disturbing imagery. Semengelof and at first Sophia hates him because he sparks something in her that she hasn’t felt with even her husband. Suring tea with her neighbours, Sophia ends up meeting the musician/policeman called Mr. We also know that Sophia is breaking some of the rules as she makes her own soap which is against the rules but I need to meet the husband and figure out what is going on. While she doesn’t believe that the hair came from a person, she does contemplate and gossips with the neighbours about her husband cheating on her but she is regular made out to be the most beautiful person in Arcadia Gardens and it wouldn’t make sense. Things get weirder again when Sophia encounters a locked drawer in their home, but rather than speaking to her husband about it or ignoring it she breaks the drawer open and find a hairbrush and a lock of hair inside. She talks about having a staircase to get out of bed and the actual staircase is so large she has to dangle down each step making it seem like she is living with a giant, giving her this small and fragile appearance. Sophia’s descriptions of her environment are also strange as she makes everything in the house out to be much larger than her. Things get even more strange when Sophia mentions she isn’t allowed in the basement due to it being renovated but it gave me vibes similar to The Bloody Chamber. What we learn about Arcadia Gardens is also strange as there are a lot of rules for those that live there and it seems very much like Big Brother is watching them at all times. The first things that made me questions what was going on is Sophia constantly repeats that she was made for her husband and that they are perfect for each other although we haven’t met him yet. The opening to Comfort Me With Apples was strange as we are introduced to Sophia, who lives in Arcadia Gardens with her husband. Title: Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M.
