Today, Adalyn, Esther, and I are diving into chapters eighteen and nineteen of C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces, and things are getting wild.

Here’s what we’re unpacking today:

• That Virginity Metaphor: We break down that super dark, shocking line about the duel. Was Lewis getting at a deeper identity shift, or is Orual just completely messed up?
• The "Queen" Facade: Orual is literally dividing herself into percentages (75% Queen, 25% Orual) and damming up her emotions. We talk about why this is such a toxic view of yourself.
• Entitlement & Fake Marriage Fantasies: From dreaming about being Bardia's wife to expecting the entire world to be married to her, Orual’s codependency is hitting an all-time high.
• Are the Gods Actually the Good Guys?: Orual keeps blaming the gods for everything, but Esther makes a great point—didn't Orual kind of ruin Psyche's life all by herself?
• Pastor Arnom: Why the new priest feels way more down-to-earth than the old creepy one. Like, could you actually invite this guy over to play Uno?
• Our Final Predictions: We lay out our bets on who lives, who dies, and whether Psyche gets her happy ending (because if she doesn't, I might just have to write my own book!).

Read up on chapters 20 and 21, and we’ll see you next time!
