I really liked the way Stephen compared the car to the confessional and used both interchangeably throughout the story. I never thought of the car as a confessional but it kind of is.  Two people inside a moving car for a couple of hours is kind of like a confessional.
The story is kind of a morality tale even though Monette did nothing wrong himself, he seems to be glad and relieved the murder happened. So, is he wrong for feeling that way? I liked the bit at the end where he asked if God put the mute in the car and the priest thought maybe but said, "absolutely not."

You wouldn't believe some things people have told me in cars, driving and parked! 😳😊)

Philosophical/theological in nature. Car being a confessional- absolutely. ( would love to have been a fly in the cars with all those stuck on I 95 in VA the other day!)
I don't feel he was responsible for the death. But a few extra Our Father's and Hail Mary's never hurt!!

Probably some bad language in that confessional. |
