Did Locke know Boone would Fall?
I was just wondering about Locke’s vision of the Beechcraft and the question popped up – did Locke know Boone would be injured in his quest? I’ve heard this argument put forward many times but…
He was distracted at the time by his encroaching paralysis and a lot was happening in his vision – the part he chose to focus on as the main area was the plane crashing although it could have been Boone dying.
And also, not everything in Locke’s vision came true and some of it was symbolic; such as his mother standing in the middle of the jungle pointing up to the plane. Why would he have thought that Boone covered in blood wasn’t symbolic?
And we know now that he doesn’t consider Boone a sacrifice that the island demanded as he previously claimed because when Boone appeared to him in Further Instructions and sarcastically announced that he was the sacrifice Locke disagreed with him, shaking his head and trying to apologise.
So was it feasible to have expected Locke to know?
[I’m voting for ‘he may have had inkling’]
