Hey Guys, I Just Noticed That The Relationship Between Felix And Oliver Could Be Similar To The Relationship

Hey guys, I just noticed that the relationship between Felix and Oliver could be similar to the relationship between Dionysus and Satyrs in Greek mythology. Basically as Dionysus is heavily associated wine and partying in general, and is always being followed by his band of Maenads (flower hippies that are also very evil) and Satyrs which is similar to Felix as he is often described as the life of the party and is always surrounded by a group of people. Anyway, on the other hand, Satyrs are half-goat men whose actions are driven by desire, with them often being seen on vases with phallic imagery. This sort of relates to Oliver, as he is driven by his desire for Felix through most of the film.

But yeah, this probably wasn't what Fennel was going for as I know that her literary references were more modern than ancient greek mythology, but its just something funky I've noticed.

fuckkk I just realized the final scenes are a rebirth!! In murdering Elspbeth, Oliver's narrative comes to an end. He no longer has anyone listening to his story and therefore has no reason to continue to orchestrate his lies. His memories of Felix belong to him, the house belongs to him, his actions now belong wholly to him. He no longer has to pretend or twist his motivations for the sake of his narrative. He kills Elspeth and lays on her chest like a baby, wrapping her limp arms around himself like the distorted hug of a mother to a child. The next shot is Oliver naked and dancing freely within the walls of Saltburn. GAH Elspeth's death functioned as Oliver's metaphorical birth into a new life here. Oliver is showing us that he has been liberated from the constraints of his narrative and is now free.
