The Voice of Poems

In the chapter Solarium, Jason gets a letter to come to a mansion and meet the vicar he had been sending his poems into. Instead, he meets a very odd yet interesting women. Even though this was not who he was expecting,  Jason decides to stay and talk with the old women. Once the two know each other, the old women starts to talk to Jason about his poems and how he can make them better. The advice that Madame Crommelynck gives to Jason is to be more truthful and confident. Although this advice could truly help Jason improve his poems, Jason did not know how to put these two things in use. As the chapter goes on, Madame C. realizes this and tells Jason how to become a truthful and confident poet. She tells him to stop worrying what other people think because the only opinion that matters is his. Madame C. also says to stop hiding the truth and tells Jason to write what he wants to write, to stop bending around the truth because he is scared that someone might make fun of him. In the end of the chapter, Madame C. has to leave and because of this, Jason feels that she had abandoned him, which makes him abandon her thought and ideas.
