editorial-dialogue

This chapter primarily consists of editorial notes and discussions about the characterization of Ravna and the thematic implications of the ending. The dialogue focuses on whether Ravna appears shallow in her motivations, the nature of her religious or mystical speculations, and how to improve the subtlety and seriousness of these reflections. There is also mention of a refugee ship and references to the cloaked beings, comparing them to Roman gods, suggesting a mechanistic rather than mystical interpretation.
