Join us in this episode as we dive into the intricate worlds of The Great Ordeal and The White Luck Warrior. We kick off with our initial impressions of The Great Ordeal, highlighting its evolved writing style, intense and vivid scenes, and the presence of a dragon that adds a new layer of excitement to the narrative.Our discussion then shifts to the heart-wrenching conclusion of The White Luck Warrior, where we reflect on the significant character deaths and their profound impact. We delve into the mystery of the voice in Kellhus' head – is it Samarmas or a god? – and speculate on the Inchoroi's true intentions behind the womb plague.Madness and the Dunyain philosophy take center stage as we explore the extent of Kellhus' madness and the underlying motivations of the Dunyain. Kellhus' complex nature makes understanding his motivations a fascinating challenge, adding depth to our analysis.We also tackle the concept of damnation for sorcerers, the role of gods in consuming souls, and the disturbing No-God POV, which offers a haunting glimpse into Eärwa. The revelation of the god of gods as an entity that consumes souls sparks intriguing debates, as does the significance of a head on a pole and the phrase 'the living shall not haunt the dead'.Introducing the Mwama, dark and twisted versions of hobbits, adds a unique twist to our discussion. We also highlight the challenges faced by Esmenet with Kelmommas, analyze significant quotes and themes, and speculate on the motivations of key characters like Esmenet, Kelmomas, and Kellhus.Lastly, we explore the concept of fate, the Dunyain's fear of their own humanity, and the unique architecture and symbolism within the story, such as the weeping mountain. We wrap up with our final thoughts and recommendations, providing a comprehensive and engaging exploration of these complex narratives.Send us a Text Message.Comic Boom - Comics in EducationAn education podcast exploring the use of comics in education.
