As the story goes on, those terrorists just did not seem like they were going to kill someone. So people get more and more comfortable with the situation that they are in. They got food, they could lay down on the ground, they can go to the bathroom and suddenly it is just not like a hostage's life except the ground laying part. And those 3 generals, they basically just want their brother back, so they did not really think about killing people and they let the women, priest, sick people and servants out. Definitely they were just showing that they would not kill anybody. There were just certain things that a real group of terrorists would not do. They didn't kill the vice president and gave him ice, they let Christopf in when he was trying to be in. They could have shot him when he was trying to get in and that's what a real group of terrorists would do. People knew that those men having guns were not going to shoot them so they got comfortable and grabbed cushions to lay their head on, then they were even more sure about being safe because none of those armed boys were trying to stop this process.
Roxane's reaction to Christopf's death was pretty strong but I don't think that it's odd. It's kind of strange that Roxane's thought for Christopf had changed that much. I was expecting that there might be some kind of reaction from Roxane but it was just way stronger than I had expected. I don't think it is odd because I thought that this would happen but just not that quickly. Roxane simply was not aware of the strength of Christopf's love and I could tell that she really liked him. It's in the book when she was looking back when they were on the flight. She was not trying to refuse Christopf's love when he expressed to her, she was just trying to stop him from talking. Basically she had some kinds of feelings to Christopf, she just did not know that and when he died, the full thought of losing just explodes and she knew that she loved him very much.
