Jun 05, 2024This definitely seemed like a story that had a lot more depth as a prose novel and asked far more introspection of the reader, but in this particular adaptation, most of the ethical considerations were not present. This became a story about a young girl with a hard family life and who is not very communicative, which is doesn't make for as interesting of a main character in a graphic novel. This society has forgotten about a lot of its citizens, so there are some ethical questions that could be raised but the text doesn't let itself go very deep. Rather, it kept the questionable material in the background of panels and hoped readers pick up on it. The cartoony illustrations detract from what possibly was a more serious tone in the novel.
