CHIMERA - What does it really mean?
12:20 PM |

CHIMERA
A chimera is an unrealistic idea that you have about something or a hope that you have that is unlikely to be fulfilled.
Sentence example: The search for certainty in empirical knowledge is a chimera
Or . . .
In Greek mythology, a chimera is a creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake.
Sentence example:
The first sight to greet a visitor to the show is a colossal stone chimera , a hybrid of lion and bird, in the museum lobby.
Synonyms: bogy, delusion, dream, fantasy, figment, hallucination, ignis fatuus, illusion, monster, monstrosity, snare, spectre, will-o'-the-wisp
Origin:
1350–1400; Middle English chimera < Latin chimaera < Greek chímaira she-goat; akin to Old Norse gymbr, English gimmer ewe-lamb one year (i.e., one winter) old, Latin hiems winter (see hiemal), Greek cheimṓn winter
In fiction, particularly medical or suspense novels, Chimera has been used to create a person with two personalities (split personality). The troupes or characters generally display passive aggressive, manic personality, or multiple personalities. Chimera gene structure and schizoid personality disorder have also been included in some fiction novels.
DECADENT DECEPTIONS
An Erotic Romance Suspense Novel
One could easily call one of the characters, the villain, a CHIMERA in Decadent Deceptions. He appears quite normal to those who know him, yet the reader is aware of the internal demons he battles. You won't know his identity until the end (as in most suspense novels) but the reader is aware that a very troubled individual lives on the periphery of Morgan and Olivia's lives.
Here's an excerpt in from inside the villains head (or in his point of view).
He closed his
eyes, allowing his senses to feast on the aromatic blends. Glaring sunlight
hurt his eyes and burned his pale skin—nothing compared to how his heart burned
for her, his Olivia. He strolled among the twisted arbors and masses of
blossoms for over an hour talking to her, knowing she walked with him, her
slender hand tucked into his.
He arrived early
every morning and waited for her to appear, skipping like a forest nymph over
the narrow wooden bridge, stooping to run her hands through the underground
spring. This was her favorite spot.
His too.
He studied the
multitude of roses to his left. Not one among them black—his calling card, a
symbolic token of his love for them and a dark remembrance of his
mother’s love.
The hot sun bore down
on him. Blazing waves of hatred and revenge crawled over his skin. He dropped
to his knees, choking back sobs. Why did she have to die and leave him alone in
the world?
His mother’s voice
called to him from some distant realm. “Kill them all,” she said. “Save them
from the wretched death I suffered. Do you want to watch them die like you
watched me die?”
He clutched his
head, cupping his hands over his ears. Stop the voices. For God’s sake, stop
the voices. Desperate to make it to the bench, he struggled to his feet,
his legs heavy with exhaustion, his breath shallow. She needed the rose—a
symbol of their love.
In a graceful
gesture, he placed the rose on the bench.
“For
you, my darling Liv. For you, my Venus.”
