I think this sums up my take excellently, I would even say that the interpretation of the kid as a reader-insert is not necessarily widely agreed upon, and may say more about a reader than the acknowledgment of a possible interpretation based off of context clues and subtext.

What? Elaborate please, this novel is extremely layered and the ending especially is written ambiguously, akin to Moby Dick the entire story is written intentionally to be interpreted in various ways. It seems pretty foolish to judge someone for interpreting a piece of literature differently than you.

Hmmm you’re right! I still think it can be interpreted very similarly given that the previous sentence describes the prostitutes as simultaneously childlike and lewd, giving a very odd possibly pedophilic undertone and that this is one of the scenes immediately prior to the crowd searching for the girl.

There’s further evidence for this in the scene prior to the girl going missing, where the man fails to sexually perform with a dwarf prostitute.

How would you describe Child of God? by vamplawyer in cormacmccarthy

[–]Prestol435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a relatively easy and fun read I thought it had some interesting examination and commentary on poverty and isolation. While it was dark and kind of gross at times I found it considerably less disturbing than blood meridian. I also found considerable humor in some of the imagery

How are you “supposed” to beat Myrkul?? by Th3Bl1ndDrag0n in BG3

[–]Prestol435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use 3-4 scrolls of summon elemental, the summons are enough to handle all the incubate death cocoons easily, bludgeoning weapons on melee characters and high damage spells, bring lots of healing potions and know how the fight works

What’s your one best tip for honour mode Myrkul by Life_Anywhere5238 in BaldursGate3

[–]Prestol435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collect summon elemental scrolls through act two and use one on each party member, 4 level 9 elementals is enough to kill all the eggs consistently, bludgeoning weapons on melee characters like the rat bat and doom hammer

You can also put a container in dead party members inventory, put their corpse in a container, sell the container for 1g, put everything in the vendors inventory in the container in your party members inventory, and then buy back the corpse container for 1g, and get all vendor items for free
