Summary
“What’s the point?” he wonders.
Is there any point in him masquerading as a hero? For every couple, every child or old person he saves, there are a dozen others he can do nothing against. For every robbery he stops, there are countless others happening at the exact same time.
He remembers when he was a kid, he had an intense period of reading everything he could find on Greek Mythology. A certain myth fascinated him, the story of the fifty daughters of Danaus, forty-nine of them of whom were sentenced to fill a pierced basin forever, only to be freed when full.
Their eternal torment, their impossible chore, reminds him somehow of his own situation. He will never rid New York of crime. He cannot be everywhere at once. He cannot save everyone.
