I have a lot more to say about part 2 of this chapter. But I did not have time to post it all today. I hope to post the rest by tomorrow.

Was Ransom's "Stop it" directed at Jane?

Every time I've read that passage I thought Ransom was speaking to the Eldils. But Kanakaberaka is right about Jane falling under the Directors spell. If his unearthly charisma is a gift from God, he has to be very careful not to take liberties with it. He may be tempted to use that gift for his own comfort and enrichment. Mr. Fisher-King is not immune to temptation, and could easily fall into sin by coveting another mans wife. He could be correcting himself as well as Jane, even if the words "stop it" were directed at Jane.

Indeed. I have always supposed that "Stop it!" was an exorcism.

I was also thinking of the prophet Isaiah when he was transported into God's throneroom; he said, " Woe is me I am undone.."

Do you think that maybe Jane was espeacially vulnerable to Ransom's charisma because in her marriage with Mark she is starved for affection?
I can't help but think that if Mark and Jane were enjoying each other as married lovers she would not have "caved in" so easily. Jane's education and experience have contributed to her view of men; she does not want to have to depend on them for anything. Her thinking is that she is not going to let any man define for her who she is; not even Mark. She thinks shes knows what is in a man. Then suddenly she meets the ideal man; more masculine, more powerful than she ever imagined a man could be, yet chaste and meek.
