Originally, I thought caleb williams would have wanted to write his story for a sense of catharsis. sometimes after a emotional experience, you just need to write about it and get it off your chest, and maybe after being accused of something, you can get the truth of what happened out there. However, after our discussion yesterday, it seems like he only did it out of selfish means. He wanted to get his side of the story out, but he even admitted that it might not be the full truth. after reading the post script, it seemed like he was just gossiping, saying it could be the truth, but also not. it makes the rest of the story (which at first i hated) seem more intriguing, because it could be truth or lies. at least at the end he came clean an said it could be either. unlike the author of a million little pieces, who said it was a true story, when in reality it was all fiction.

I agree that Caleb Williams killed all his credibilty by saying that it might not all be true, and that his motives for writing this story are now called into question.
