Paradoxically, it is undoubtedly his torturer and rapist, Captain Randall who collapsed dead on him, who saves his life by compressing Jamie’s wound with his lifeless body, while the cold of the spring night, still prone to snowfall, slows down Jamie’s heartbeat and causeshis blood vessels to contract. Claire has gone back to Franck, Murtagh is probably dead, the British will ravage his beloved country and go after Ian and Jenny and their family,Lallybroch and Fergus, lost on the road to his home. If he wanted to die after Wentworth out of shame for not being worthy of her, he does not have any reason to live, at that moment, on the cursed heath of Culloden. Why do I want to cry, when I see her so beautiful, so pure, so sweet in this hell? Because it represents everything that Jamie loved and why he fought and yet, she is no longer there and her memory, idealized at this moment by this angelic vision of the love of his life, will never be able alone to bring the comfort he needs. As she approaches, in the middle of this Armageddon, it seems she reaches out to me. I am a man, Claire has all the aspects that I like in a woman, I am a former reserve captain and even if I did see combat, I identify myself with this Highlander officer who lies on the moor of Culloden.
