my critique is alot of style, but in ways of character, no substance for most of them, except for richard, bunny and henry. the others are interchangeable to me. i get that they are friends out of proximity, bc there's no scenes where they genuinely enjoy each other's company, but the way in which richard was enfolded into the group wasn't shown? tartt listed dinners, bdays, but i didn't feel the group getting closer

morrow's first lesson for his students is a call to "throw off the chains of being for an instant", to give into our desires without thought or guilt, that no matter how civilized we try to be, our animal nature lurks dormant inside, perking up at the sight of excitement, chaos, which is why a murder in the prologue only intrigues us more. is it "the group nature of the hysteria" that inspired it?
