The book’s title, The Blind Assassin, tells a lot about the story. The author most likely meant to inform the reader that deaths will occur. By using “blind” maybe the author was trying to inform that the deaths or assassins occurred due to a character not being able to see the events leading to the deaths. The title helps indicate that deaths will be involved in this story, this is true after reading the rest of the book. Prior to reading, one can infer that deaths and killings will occur; after reading, one can conclude that in fact the title meant what it means. Deaths happened throughout the title. The book starts off with the death of Laura Chase which can help prove the significance of the title. However, who actually is the blind assassin?
