I forgot to mention all the parallels to shows as well, like with Macbeth, how ambition can be a curse, Lady Macbeth as Elara pushing Maven (Macbeth) then going kinda insane (seeing daggers, hearing his mother) and ultimately ending in tragedy
Or Les Mis/Cabaret, the people rising up (I haven't actually seen it but I listen to the soundtrack it's good and there are deffo some parallels)
Lmk if there are any more, my brain loves picking things apart and seeing how they fit together (I just got that english lit dog in me bro)
I wish in the RQ books they explored Maven's love for theatre, like it's so ironic how he says he loves plays and shows but then you find out his whole life is pretty much an act. I think it would be so interesting to know why he liked it too, did he like the actors ability to pretend? The chance to escape the real world? I was so surprised that VA like never mentioned it again, maybe because by the time we got to his pov so much was happening? but then Cal never mentioned it either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maven : Hey there demons, It's me, ya boi.
Cal : Maven , NO!

I have fallen down the incorrect quote rabbit hole so please enjoy the next few hours/days/weeks/months/hayoureallythoughtthiswouldeverendmwaha
Mare: Remember everyone, violence is never the answer.
Maven : You're right, Mare.. Violence can't be the answer.
Mare: Correct, Maven . Now, on to the next lesso-
Maven : Violence is the question.
Maven : And the answer is yes!
Mare: No, Maven no!
I wish mare had chosen maven cuz not only did it make more sense but they would’ve served so hard too, like mare could’ve pulled a Catherine the Great and overthrown maven but he could just chill in the castle and they’d still low-key “date”? Court? Get freaky? Either way they would’ve been such a power couple like attahshdbejdb
Do you think Shade was called "Shade", like "shade", the synonym for spirit/ghost because he spent most of the first book "dead" and then died for real in book 2
