Bergman

He's an ambiguous character. People that know Bergman say he's a thief, a liar, and potentially crazy. It's hard to know what to believe - in fact, it may just be impossible. People in small communities like Solentiname's little communities tend to gossip a lot and talk about one another ceaselessly. I certainly don't know him well enough to pass judgment, but I'm certainly intrigued by him.

The first few times I saw him he walked right past me - speaking to himself, cursing - without acknowledging my presence. When I finally had the opportunity to speak to him he kept laughing unexpectedly and was hesitant to make eye contact with me. The last time I saw him he seemed a bit more approachable. He spoke to me and asked me questions. His aunt kept interrupting him to tell me that he is "screwed up in the head." Bergman would nod, shake his head, and giggle all at once. He asked me to take his portrait. When I showed it to him he said he looked horrible. Nonetheless, he asked me to print him a copy.
