i'm in the mag 140s and i have so many thoughts about the way tma explores free will, choice, instinct, and tragedy. it's so fascinating and i could write an entire literary analysis and i still don't think i could come to a simple conclusion because the narrative arguably resists it. jon had a choice but he was also manipulated but it was also just his instinct/nature/personality so who is really to blame? he embodies such a complex position as both predator and prey, not to mention how complicated the forces are that go him into that position. auughh i have so many thoughts my brain is going to explode
#i really wish 30 page analysis papers weren't just an academia thing :(#because all the posts i'm reading take an overly simplistic approach when we could go so much more in depth!!#i need to read 20 different articles about this immediately#but alas#bc i really don't think 'it was always his choice' or 'he was tricked so he did nothing wrong' are doing justice to the nuance#of the discussion that the podcast is trying to have#idk!!! idk#tma spoilers
