107: so fucking incredible :') womanhood is all about performance!!! how the sight of ben is what breaks her restraint idk. it's like. animalistic and patriotic. and the fact that the performance is double-sided. like. suspecting how much the other person (who is performing) knows of your own performance. coooool

and the concept of a faked death and a resurrection wow wow so much to think about!!!!!!!!!

mrs. oakley as some kind of mediator between actor and audience hm

just skipped ahead OMG SHE'S ALIVE. yay. what is todd without lovett? we can't experience an entire third of the story with one of them missing.

casting of actors in multiple roles is. brechtian. and freudian too? smart woman!

106: like mother like daughter! fake it till u make it. the concept of women as ghosts

this story is also about the surveillance state obviously

105: are they the same person. and i think mrs. oakley will be okay. we're too deep in her head to die.

104: was that a kitchen table... the concept of wrapping your wife in.. domesticity forever.. also grabbing her by the hair.. lack of control.. are we sure this isn't just. todd. like sidequesting

NO JANE NO NO NO
