–> Form / structure

Joe Simpson’s book “Touching the Void” presents mental danger in this quote “The irony of falling 100 feet and surviving unscathed was almost unbearable.” The mountain is teasing him keeping him alive and uninjured instead he is trapped in the crevasse. “Unbearable” in this situation he thought he was going to die on the way down, not end up on the crevasse, starved and dehydrated.
