Comment by star on The Forgotten Field - Chapter 40

@star bold of u to assume thats who he called a snake..

@scarekte i read the novel babes , i KNOW who he called a snake aka alya 🙏🏻

@star tbh i was planning to js move on but im feeling petty today nothing against u btw so let's do some basic middle school litterature analysis and infer who varkas refers to in this specific passage and im saying infer because as far as i remember as someone who also read the novel it's nowhere stated that alya is the snake in the metaphor. SO, from what we know of the context so far, Thalia has always been the one directly causing trouble, she is the one who publicly assaulted alya, varkas, maids ect... Whether you like it or not, to everyone but the readers, Thalia is undoubtly the violent one prone to attacking first. Furthermore, in the bible, snakes are seen as a symbol of temptation, sin, deception, and hidden danger as well as being unpredictable, does that remind you of anyone? (also this might be a stretch but is still worth mentionning, snakes in many cultures represent transformation, renewal, letting go of the past and personal growth and since you've read the novel im sure this also reminds you of a certain someone..). Tying to what we previously said, wildcats in many mythologies represent territorialism, fierce boundaries, possessiveness or greed, which are all values we've seen(and will see) of ayla. Finally your first mistake here babes is thinking that a metaphor=comparaison, when varka said that, he didn't mean to insult one of them or calling one evil and the other "nice", he simply seems to suggest that Ayla and Thalia are two incompatible personalities or forces like a snake and a wildcat that cannot peacefully coexist in the same space.

@scarekte Calling a literal basic narrative twist middle school literature analysis while completely misreading the text is wild tbh , u looked up all those biblical references just to get it entirely backwards so let me walk you through this since u clearly did NOT read the novel ✌🏻 varkas views Alya through the lens of the snake symbolization of hidden danger and manipulation since he overhead her talking to her brother about 'wanting to js keep thalias corpse to hold a proper funeral for her nd avoid' and a lot of other reasonscuz im sure as yk since( you read the novel ><) that he's not tolerating her bs based on having feelings for her but rather because of the spell/curse cast on him although every1 can tell he knows that the twins are evil and its shown in later chapters that will be adapted soon lols, adding to your information that a snake is not only a symbol of rebirth and healing but its also symbolizes temptation and sinning , cunning and rebellion (sounds familiar also hm?) on the other hand tho thalia fits the wildcat traits of territoriality and boundaries& an aggressive thats direct which leads others (and Alya) to perceive her as the obvious aggressor aka the wildcat , if you also read the chapter which i doubt u did , alya immediately asks why he's reffering to her as such a low beast (nd if u think a cat is considered a beast , rather than a snake then ur prolly tweaking out tbh) all that deep philosophical yapping just to get the metaphors completely reversed is crazy so i suggest u reread the novel nd maybe the manhwa while ur at it lol

@star you're slaying ✨️ ✨️✨️ 

@Zephny_lovesbl lol thanks sweetheart<3

@scarekte NAHHH THALIA IS DEF A WILD CAT, WILD CATS ARE ON GUARD MOST OF THE TIME AND BECOME EASILY IRRITATED ALSO THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO ATTACK FIRST AND AS FOR SNAKES HMM IDK MUCH ABOUT EM BUT STILL THALIA IS A WILD CAT
