#something something anya and curly are true parallel while Jimmy and Curly are true foils and in this essay-

[dykedvonte]

Awareness is a thing specifically attached to Anya while ignorance is specifically attached to Curly.

I think it's so poinignt that she wears contacts. It hides a weakness if you think about it like Jimmy. But they are also this invisible thing that allows her to see better. Perhaps it's her position as the only woman on board. Maybe it's her being acutely aware of how dangerous Jimmy is. Or maybe it's just to point out how she specifically always sees how the little details make up the big picture. She dies with her eyes wide open, she never was able to look away even in death.

I think it's so important that Curly only lost one of his eyes but also his eyelid. He's half blind to it all, like he was originally. Never quite aware of Jimmy but not completely unaware of who he could be. To be honest, maybe he is still half blind, the damage would make it a responsible conclusion. He still might not be able to see the little things, but now he can't look look away. He is frozen with his eyes wide open looking at all the little things he accidentally ignored.
