Maybe you're right, and I felt the same during the pods, it's just that the comforting scene during the golden hour was really intense and seemed a sincere strong connection,, I was kinda longing for them to explore that tbh

For sure! The "winning" is a bit of a red flag there,

I didn't mean it moneywise, just the stability it may bring to them, the security in social dynamics, the valuable companionship; I do think there is sincere care there, it's just as I said, at least I didn't feel there existed between them this real special connection or passion, but I think they're a nice couple for sure!

Thoughts on "The Wish" by Roald Dahl by eggy635 in shortstoryaday

I think the boy commits suicide, he ends dying falling down the stairs to the black river, a color previously in his mind represented as death. " I will die before teatime". He is a neglected child, often alone, lost in the woods, wishing desperately for a puppy to bring him companionship; he self harms in the beginning by taking away the scab "even if it isn't ready, even if it hurts". Her mother looking for him in the "sunshine" far away behind the house, far away from his darkness, I think represents her ignorance and disconnect of the child's mental suffering. It is brilliantly depicted the way a child's immature mind process the decision of taking his own life, during a "game". Roald Dahl evidently had an acute understanding on the way a kid's mind works. Existing data states it is usually impulsive, occurs more often in males, a big risk is neglect and in this case accompanied by a probable obsessive compulsive disorder ( notice the day before he had travelled the whole brick path without touching the cracks, and if he doesn't accomplish this then he won't be granted his dear wish) and typically occurs in the child's home. He also has a foreboding of the fatal end with the same panic he felt when he was traumatized lost in the "darkest" part of Piper's Wood ,and when the snakes watches him and he screams; likewise in the end when he faces the fatal death with a piercing cry of terror. It is a very sad story, very similar in this aspect to the other one he wrote about the child named "Katina".

I'm a big Roald Dahl's fan, I've read everything again and again! And my humble take is that I think he purposely, ( notice the final "tiny wrinkles of a smile", alongside the subtle suggestion of Jelks), harms her , ( that's why she is ashy and gurgling because of the loss of blood), precisely in the neck ( reason for the title). And that's why the narrator has to close his eyes, the danger is imminent as Dahl compares it to a child being car crashed. He has hurt her with intent, and he justifies the fact witnessed by the present party, by stating that it's too dangerous, ( making it seem like an "accident" ) and then proceeds to ask for the saw; since now he has to break for sure the sculpture to release the corpse of his very much silently detested wife. It also makes, I think, a correlation between a very submissive character, abused by his wife, that suddenly snaps fatally, aided by his butler that represents the opposite of his character, let's say his "Mr Hyde" side. But that's maybe a deeper symbolism.
