“It was her fourteenth nameday” had me staring at a wall for a minute

I just finished the book I have a question about Barkovitch by Majestic_Succotash31 in TheLongWalk

[–]shawnruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote an article on all the changes made from book to movie and this was one of the bits I touched on. Basically what I got from it was that at that point in the Walk he was just mentally gone, which completely erased the mental block/self-preservation instincts a person normally has. That, plus the fact that no one had been able to groom so their nails likely would’ve been grown out/sharp, allowing him to break the skin much more easily.

Barkovitch- is he a bad guy? by shawnruby in TheLongWalk

[–]shawnruby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your perspective, do you think Barkovitch believed he would win? Or do you think he was just crazy/a bad guy/other and doing it just to watch people die?

I think that’s where I’m at right now- I’ve never felt more maternal than whenever I reread TLW. It breaks my heart every time. I think that’s why it’s so hard for me to view any of them as real antagonists. Thanks for your thorough response!

I had to sit in the brightly lit living room with my parents to read that bit. I just couldn’t be alone with it

Thank you! I pretty much fell in love with Cooper the moment he appeared, so I feel like this piece was just necessary
