LMAOOO the most abrupt death reveal ever 😭 the William and Lisbeth double poisoning and Barbarys abruptly committing suicide, I laughed out loud

I really love how others find Marek’s desperate need to be pitied to be pathetic and off putting and a source of motivation for why they dislike him. A real ouroboros of pity and repulsion.

lol I hadn’t even considered the possible reading of the William/ Barnabas gay rumors to ALSO be an element of the incest ladder because even though they aren’t related, William calls him “father” because Barbara’s is a priest

The paralleled theme of perpetual victimhood between Marek and Agatha is also interesting. Marek is despised and abused by all who see him and Agatha is subjected to repressed imprisonment (Jude, the nunnery, the lord’s manor) and sexual violence (her brother, Jude, Father Barnabas/ William)

Another rung added to the incest ladder… Jude deciding to call his kidnapped child bride after his mother Agatha oh I’m sure… Marek being the child of actual sibling incest on his maternal side in addition to the thematic incest on his paternal side DAMN

Marek threatening SUICIDE over the possible birth of a half sibling, I’m sorry he’s so cute and wretched to me 😭🫶🏾

It’s so charming to me how absurd this progression of this story is. The character are so very stupid (complimentary) and readily come to the silliest conclusions, I love them 🫶🏾

Some truly expert dramatic irony here. Jude mistakes Marek in Barnabas’s robes to be the condemnation of god, marek mistakes Clem’s corpse for Jude’s, marek believes Agatha’s empty grave to mean she was good and taken to heaven rather than her death falsified and her still alive. Great stuff 🙂‍↕️

Blind eating the blind mmhmm
