I find it interesting how Ottessa Moshfegh is always inserting relevant social commentary despite having aggressive and off-putting main characters. There is a moral gray and messiness to her writing that almost mirrors the blurred moral lines we come across in real life. Prison systems are deeply and inherently flawed, and in the U.S. they offer no real chance at reformation because they were specifically designed with a different purpose. To control, to exploit, to cage... Eileen is also acknowledging that even she, as an employee, is probably more dangerous than the youth confined at Moorehead. Hmmm. Moorehead... Reminds me of the Moors murders... Intentional?
