Small World Part 3

What do you think about Persse chasing Angela around to all of the world-wide conventions?

I thought that this part of the story was a lot like a knight chasing a woman that he will never have. Although she has told him this, he still insists that he is good enough for her and that he deserves her. He gets a credit card, which is a form of money, something that she has a plentiful amount of. This credit card, like in the story of Perceval, is like his own title as a "knight." Now that he has gained something that she has and is attracted to, he thinks that she will somehow change her opinion about him. I thought that it was funny that she followed him to places such as Hawaii, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Jerusalem and he still did not get any of her attention. I thought that it was sad to read Cheryl's to Persse following Angela around, but Persse is blindly in love with the thought of Angela. I think that it is getting a little out of hand...
