    The trilogy has the least discussion on theology. The spirit wants to control the body, and the body wants to ask for the spirit. God is not in the service area. You can solve it by yourself.

    To me, the "Silence" refers to the vast, encompassing environs-a thick wall surrounding the three, making no room for them to communicate. All three represent the self - Anna the hedonistic, Esther the Catholic (the guilted, the conscientious ), Johan the observant.

The Silence quotes

  • Ester: Erectile tissue... it's all a matter of swollen tissue and secretion; a confession before extreme unction. Semen smells nasty to me. I've a very keen sense of smell and I stank like rotten fish when I was fertilized.

  • Ester: I didn't want to accept my wretched role. But now it's too damn lonely. We try out attitudes and find them all worthless. The forces are all too strong. I mean the forces... the horrible forces. You need to watch your step among all the ghosts and memories.

    Ester: All this talk... There's no need to discuss loneliness. It's a waste of time.
