Die Sterblichen

The backdrop of social upheaval adds so much depth to the characters' struggles. I'm curious whether real events influenced the setting or if it was more of a symbolic choice.

Their individual stories felt so intimate yet intertwined with larger societal shifts. I wonder how much of their personal pain was inspired by actual histories.

Switching viewpoints kept the story dynamic, but I was curious whether this was planned from the start or developed as the narrative evolved.
