When you enter a game, what can you do if you fall in love with an NPC? (Analysis of William's love for Delores)

First of all, the name Delores itself already has a hint of the fate of the characters. Delores has the meaning of sorrow (sorrow) in old English. At the same time, Delores and Doll (dolls) are homophonic, whether or not I over-associate them. , I think the screenwriter is wise when setting the names of the characters.

William's love for Delores is sincere, and he lingers for thousands of times, otherwise there is no way to explain MIB's dedication to enter the paradise and play games.

For the elderly William or MIB, has the love for Delores gone with time?

Infer the course of William's mind. William actually knew that Delores was ill-adjusted after being stabbed in the stomach and ran away. We all have the experience of looking for things. You think that the thing is somewhere, but you just don't want to find it there because you are afraid that when you look for it, if the thing is not there, you will be 10 times disappointed.

William didn't really know that the NPC would be recycled, as long as he returned to Sweetwater Town and the NPC's respawn point, he would be able to see Delores. But is that Delores, or the beloved Delores? William didn't dare to face it. So even after dealing with Logan, William still chose to go to every corner of the paradise, expecting that the injured Delores, with their common memories, hid in a safe place and waited for him.

William said, thank Delores for letting him discover himself.

What is the process of discovering yourself? Wang Yangming said, “It’s easy to break the mountain, but it’s hard to break the heart.” William undoubtedly used to be someone who didn’t dare to face himself. He was diligent and cautious in his work. He met once his boss, and now belongs to his eldest brother. Logan, the three views are so different, but he has to meet him again, so tired and difficult. William is unwilling to enter the paradise, burn, kill, and plunder. He has always shown that he is a "good" person. He is worried about everything outside, and he is careful not to be harmed by the outside world nor hurt others, and to be a good person. ", I have drawn all kinds of boundaries for myself, walking tiptoe, don't cross the boundary. However, where is the boundary? The boundary is only you.

When William was pursuing Delores, in order to find the clues of Delores, he did not hesitate to kill people and set fires, abuse the boss, and the previous barriers were stepped down one by one by himself. William suddenly discovered: I am very strong, even though people like Logan seem to be so strong You can hurt me at will. In fact, he is just a weak shell. The boundaries I set for myself are meaningless except for self-imposed restraint. I only need to be strong, as long as I win, as long as Delores. But William still has his own moral requirements, even if he kills a defeated soldier, the opponent must hold the gun. Here, it is actually an interpretation of MIB behavior. MIB does not kill women and children indiscriminately from the beginning. William only kills those who want to do things and those who are guilty. All indiscriminate killing begins with the discovery of MAZE.

When William returned to Tianshui Town, the rebirth point of the NPC, he really saw Delores, but the most worried thing happened, and the tears didn’t come out, Delores, my dear Delores, you don’t know me anymore, all this is just Unreal is just a game.

William began to doubt himself, began to doubt this love: Is that true love? Everything we experience, the passion we experience, is just a cutscene triggered by the script and elements? Our sadness, our sweetness, are all based on a script arranged by an outsider? My love...your body is there, but your soul, the soul that we have resonated with, has dissipated, or is it imprisoned in that body?

The old Williamilliam said to Delores, "I will soon be tired of you, when I go to pursue another adventure", as if he heard the muffled cry in the heart of an old man. It is impossible to imagine that William did not try to awaken Delores’ memory. It is conceivable that in 30 years, he has only received constant disappointment. He left Delores and avoided touching this story line, trying to infer Delores from other story lines. Save Delores, liberate Delores. D, only Delores.

When his real wife died and his daughter ignored him, William returned to paradise. William tested himself, killing a mother and daughter, and testing whether he was really hard-hearted, but he actually felt nothing. The tremendous pain caused Maeve to resurrect and fell into the maze. This gave the elderly William hope that pain and torture could release the potential of these hosts and let them liberate themselves?

William went to see D again and killed Teddy. He envied Teddy and felt sick to Teddy. You are just a plot prop that Delores left here, you disgusting thing. William dragged Delores into the barn and was montaged behind it, but I can think of William killing Delores with expectations and hopes. I can't imagine a purgatory worse than this.

Unfortunately, William still failed, and Delores was still just reset.

So, MAZE, after solving this, can my Delores be liberated?

Delores, my Delores, only Delores.

    Mind-fucked completely

  • Elenor 2021-10-20 19:00:12

    I saw the closed loop of "source code", the God's perspective of "Trumen's World", the autonomous consciousness of "I, Robot", the player-RPG setting of "Inception", and the virtual breakthrough of "The Matrix". .. Finally cleverly put on a western shell. When human beings want to be the creator, the world is bloody. HBO really has money and thick legs~
