Thought his transforming Gault into a butterfly was a poignant representation of Dream's own metamorphosis after breaking through the restrictive set of rules he'd abided by for so long. Unity being the Dream Vortex made sense on a narrative level and wrapped that plot up satisfyingly for me.ĭream's gradual evolution works well too while still leaving him a lot of room to learn and grow as a character. Thought the finale was the strongest episode of Rose's arc. Fear will keep growing, but pride will go down. It just so happens that 100 years might not have been enough to break his pride just yet, while on the other hand, the longer you hold something dangerous the more afraid you will be of it if you are its captor. Simple animal instinct when it comes to mortals.Įdit: That say, chances are that if we keep the scenario going for longer Dreams would have been the first to break and eventually say something to his captor's descendants. So not the lack of knowledge whether these beings are responsible for death, famine, etc, telling them they are right to hold the creature responsible, but the lack of knowledge of whether freeing it is deadly or not. They are right in their minds because they are acting accordingly to what any other animal's genes would tell them to do, avoid the thing that makes them not be alive anymore.Īs self absorbed as Roderick Burgess is, he would even agree that being alive is a bigger motivation than his qualms against the structure of the universe, and the thought he deserves any say in it. They are not right in their mind because a mortal would deserve any sort of explanation or vindication from beings that may be behind their misery. Replace Dreams with something that looks more out of cosmic horror, or a menacingly looking alien, and the scenario plays the same.
The Burgerss are simply acting out of fear, out of self preservation. While morality is interesting to discuss, it's simpler than that.
