I believe it was definitely for shock value, but I am not so sure if it checks the "character development" box. For me, if an element of a story can be completely removed but the story is unaffected in any way, the element is unnecessary.

That's a very insightful way to put it. I agree with you that the story didn't need it. Therefore, it was added for nothing more than cheap shock value.ayoomisope wrote: ↑25 Apr 2020, 21:16 I believe it was definitely for shock value, but I am not so sure if it checks the "character development" box.

I agree. I always find this Oedipus complex stuff disturbing.Ever_Reading wrote: ↑02 Feb 2020, 01:55 I'm finding it rather strange and can't possibly figure out why it's important to the plot. I am not yet done with the book, so maybe my view on it will change. But for now, I remain skeptical for sure.
