Hans: 

'Sometimes I wake up in the morning thinking to myself that it just 
can't be true that a girl of 24 was inspired for 4 hours to record 
the greatest, most powerful story ever told: the liberation of man. 
But then I think about Harry with the mark of Cain on his forehead 
and I realise it's true.'

Annemehr:

'How can it be the mark of Cain that Harry bears on his forehead? 
Cain carried that mark because he was a *murderer.*'

Me:

It seems to me that the *origin* of Cain's and Harry's marks are 
different (although they both involved attempted murder, and 
the 'death' of a rival), but their *effect* was to mark both of them 
out as unique among humans, the objects of fascination and distrust.
