Le Festin

The nuanced depiction of characters from different backgrounds feels very intentional. I wonder what prompted her focus on these themes in this particular setting.

Some decisions felt quietly devastating, while others seemed justified within their context. Did the moral ambiguity make it harder to root for certain characters?

The social and political tensions of the time seem to echo in the characters’ interactions. I’m curious whether the setting was based on specific historical events or more of a general atmosphere.
