I wanted to meet the real girl trapped behind the fear. I was always pushing her, toying with her emotions.

I wanted her to yell at me I would’ve congratulated her had she ever slapped me in the face.

Some part of me enjoys the torture.īut not only did Destroy Me give me a glimpse into Warner’s abusive upbringing and his conflicting emotions surrounding love and duty, it also gave me a glimpse into his mind, his reasons for imprisoning Juliette and for pushing her to her limits. And I begin to realize that some small part of me doesn’t want to wish away the thoughts of her. Her face keeps cropping up, her journal taunting me from its place in my pocket. 'I squeeze my eyes shut tighter and make a weak effort to build the walls that would surely clear my mind. While he can easily pretend to be emotionless, inside he is living in constant turmoil. Because in the end it is our emotions that make us weak, not our actions.'īut for Warner, what separates him from the evil that is his father, is his emotions. The one who never apologizes and therefore seeks no forgiveness. 'I’ve come to believe that the most dangerous man in the world is the one who feels no remorse. What kind of child could grow up to lead a normal life with a father that hands out torture as punishment on a regular enough basis for his son to recognize it when it was about to happen? It’s no wonder Warner goes through life, unflinching and emotionless – he needs to be, in order to handle his father. Torture is not torture when there’s any hope of relief.' Some part of me always hopes he’ll go through with it that maybe this time he’ll actually let me die.

The movement is so rough and violent I’m almost relieved. He was in the same room with Warner for mere moments before I found myself hating him with a passion. It was shortly after his return to base that his father – the Supreme Commander of the Reestablishment – shows up to clean up the mess caused by Juliette and Adam’s escape. With an inside look at the twisted and misunderstood mind of Warner, a man I found my heart breaking for by the end of Destroy Me, I have a new-found excitement for the rest of this series!īeginning immediately after Juliette has shot Warner in the arm, I immediately realized Warner was a much more complex character than I had previously given him credit for. And while it was most definitely not long enough, I immediately understood its attraction. Considering my tumultuous relationship with Shatter Me, I only decided to pick up Destroy Me to satisfy my increasingly nagging curiosity surrounding Warner’s growing allegiance of fans.
