The Shadow of the Wind-Week 6, Post A

Some characters are exhibiting behaviors that display an open-minded outlook on meeting new people. This open-mindedness does not appear as much in America. A prime example of this open-mindedness is the meeting between Daniel and Nuria Monfort. Daniel learned that Nuria had a connection with Julian Carax and decided to go to her home to question her. When Daniel arrived at Nuria's apartment, Nuria clearly was suspicious as to why he had come to question her, but she did not let this limit the information she provided for him. She was open-minded about Daniel's intentions and allowed him into her home without many questions. Even after Daniel displayed an interest in Nuria, despite their age difference and the fact that she is married, Nuria still let him question her and to be in her home. This behavior goes both ways. Daniel walked into Nuria's home and the first thing he notices is that it is dirty, unkept, and dismal. He then learns that Nuria's husband is in jail and she is waiting for him to get out. This does not change Daniel's view of Nuria and he allowes himself to get to know her without have pre-conceived opinions. Not only does he get to know her, but Daniel even finds himself falling for her and has to fight urges not to lean in and kiss her.
