About This Quote
“Darkness lingered in those blue eyes, like ghosts haunted him despite only the two of them standing in this cabin.” This quote from Atonement by Ian McEwan is a wonderful example of how our minds can be controlled by our emotions. In this specific case, the author portrays a dark mood as something haunting the character, as if he were being haunted by something. The fact that these feelings are not his own is apparent from the way he describes them as “ghosts” that haunt him.
