Throughout the novel, Alicia communicates primarily through her art. Her final painting, a self-portrait titled Alcestis , becomes a central metaphor. Alcestis is a figure from Greek mythology who agrees to die in place of her husband, Admetus, only to be saved by Hercules. In the play by Euripides, Alcestis never speaks after returning from the dead. The parallel is obvious: Alicia, too, has returned from a kind of death (the death of her previous life), and she, too, refuses to speak.
Written in the past tense before the murder.
