I need someone to explain the ending of the magic toyshop for me. I have been searching in vain on the internet for an explanation that might make me like it more. Like, I don’t mean the fire, I mean the rest, it was foreshadowed but like jesus christ why. Also what happened to Melanie’s brother. Also why didn’t they just murder uncle Phillip,, like it’s a book, anything can happen, why not just poison the bastard and be done with it. Also what a bleak ending,, Melanie feeling like she feels fated to marry Finn almost like she has no agency at all but people are saying that the ending is hopeful?? Either I just don’t get it or this book was not for me
#a real shame because up until the very last 30 pages or so I was fully on board and hooked#if I were to script doctor it uncle phillip would’ve been as dismembered as the swan like the wolves in the bloody chamber#but ok I guess#angela carter#the magic toyshop
