Blog #5 (Sandman Vol. 1 by Neil Gaiman)

The hero of the series is, simply, Dream. His identity is a rather philosophical matter, as he is not so much a god of dream, but rather, the embodiment of the very concept of dream itself. At the beginning of the story, Dream is summoned by a human mystic, and caged. Seventy years later, when he escapes from his prison, he finds his kingdom in ruins, and must return to himself the symbolic garments of his reign to rebuild it. This except from the book is very eery and creepy. I did not really find this work interesting. It was not my type of reading, i felt that this work was for someone more into the dark types of leerature in the world. And with the idea that this book was written a while ago, maybe this book was written for those in that time period who were starting to be interested in these type of things. Maybe the time period represented a dark and creepy nature, and the many authors of this time were only just starting to write like this to appraise the readers of the novel.
