Tchaikovsky's blend of satire and bleakness is striking. I'm curious what motivated him to explore humor within such a grim setting.

Some characters felt surprisingly relatable amidst the satire, which made me wonder if the author intended for us to see ourselves in them.

The narration added a layer of wit that I don't think would be as impactful in text alone. Did anyone else feel the tone shifted with the narrator's delivery?
