Reply to comment by llama_raptor89 in Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: Thoughts on Metal Gear Solid and The Illiad References by outsellers

It is not discussion of the works, which you are reducing it to, but a flat out spoiler of how it ends for a main character (Hector).

The two works are gigantic, and there is a lot that can be told, but if you’ve ever been part of a book club, it’s pretty customary to relay some plot points, but NOT the ending.

Nah, sorry, this is like being upset because someone referenced the end of Romeo and Juliet.

She assumes her audience will have basic awareness of one of the most well known stories ever written.

The idea of spoiling the Iliad lmao. Should she basically not write of any written/spoken work of art in case she spoils it for the audience?

Really think about it for a minute OP.
