#this boy is born to die

[docholligay]

It’s hard for me to actually ANALYZE this, because it’s just right there. They put a book in front of us, ffs.

This is about characters leaving their stories, and the idea that once you leave your story, you have nowhere to go. That characters, having lived their entire lives in a world constructed specifically for them, can only tamp through a forest of darkness, ideas in a tangled lines of branches without having been made into anything at all. I think this is what it’s saying about loving parents, that we as authors ‘raise’ our characters to some extent, and whether we give them what they want, we give them what they need, narratively. And that is love. That is care.

Once a character escapes that, they lose the structure in which they were formed, and can’t find their way. This is why sequels are often horrible, and TV shows that go on too long.

Please note I have never seen this and am watching spoiler-free! Please don’t confirm, deny, or explain anything, even if it’s historical or cultural! Thank you!
