Coulter's Dæmon

Postby Sayuri » Sun Dec 06, 2009 11:39 pm

I don't know if this has already been posted- I searched for it but I could only find posts about The Golden Monkey's name.

Anyway, why can Mrs Coulter's Dæmon go further away from than most normal (and by normal I mean not a witch or Lyra and Will) people's Dæmon? The golden monkey does it in the first book, Mrs C is talking to Lyra and the reporter, but the Golden monkey is in Lyra's bedroom searching for the alethiometer.

I though that maybe she might have gone through that area of land Serafina was talking about in TAS. The one that witches have to go through so that their Dæmon can go as far away from them as they like.

Any thoughts on this?

I know why he doesn't :) Pullman has said that the Monkey doesn't have a name because every time he tried to think of one, the Monkey snarled at him and scared him :lol:

That is actually a really good name for him :D It's better than Ozymandias (the BBC Adaptions name for him), or Aurum (people on Fan Fiction.net call him that because he is gold) or Thurston- heheh Sharpie Show.


I am calling him Raphael too

It's only partly the reason why I started the politcal forum, I also genuinely want to know what people think about the topic.............then I realised that I could use the poll to my advantage and see how many other people want to kick the monkey. hahaha

If that kind of monkey exists in real life I'd tie him up in a chair and hit him a baseball bat to death

I like the Golden Monkey :D And I think Ozymandias is a great name for him :O
"...And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!"

I think the monkey's voice in the audio book is creepy. He only spoke once out of all three books. that was in the amber spyglass. Also, the golden monkey wasn't always bad. It got most of Lyra's hair out when Mrs. Coulter was trying to get the bomb stopped in the Amber Spyglass.
