"and I lost part of myself to him then, and a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first: to become a part of Phineas"(85).
Throughout the novel, Knowles does a very good job of leaving a cliff hanger at the end of each chapter. Gene is still confused with who is really is. I think Gene wants to be similar to Finny, but simply does not fit into that personality. He is trying to mold himself into someone that resembles Finny, which is driving him insane.
If Gene really wanted to be a part of Phineas, why did he push him off the tree in the first place?
