On pages 206-207 Marie-Laure is trapped in her attic and recollects having visited the Panthéon with her father many years ago where she saw a pendulum which would supposedly never stop. "Now it is as if she can hear the pendulum in the air in front of her...Grooving and regrooving its inhuman truth into the floor." This inhuman truth could have been many unstoppable, ever-progressing atrocities to Marie-Laure because her mind was possesed with hopelessness at the time. Name a few of these inhuman truths. What do you think would be the most likely inhuman truth that Marie-Laure is suggesting? Is there a specific one? Why or why not?
