similarities between tma and hamlet
– catalyst of the story is the death of someone and the person filling their job position
– conflict at least partially revolves around confirming the suspicions over who killed the person who died before the story began
– protagonist is an academic of sorts
– protagonist goes on a paranoia spiral
–themes of not knowing who to trust, suspect everyone, search for answers
– HEAVY themes of self sacrifice
– ghosts
– intervention/ intervention-esque confrontations where people ask the protagonist to stop harassing everyone around them
– nearly all of the protagonist’s friends end up dead by the end
– antagonist is very interested in a crown of some sort
– story ends with protagonist successfully killing antagonist, but in a way where he sacrifices himself right in front of his boyfriend/‘best friend’
–boyfriend/'best friend’ reacts to that with 'well then I’ll gladly die too!’
–protagonist would rather that boyfriend didn’t die.
–sad sad tragic tragic cry forever ending
