Every Man for Himself

The depiction of societal divisions feels very layered and authentic. I'm curious whether this was based on specific historical insights or a creative choice to heighten the tension.

The narrative seemed to deepen character development during that stretch, but I wondered if the slower pace was a deliberate reflection of the characters' internal struggles.

The setting added a powerful backdrop to the characters' stories. I'm interested in whether the author was motivated by a particular event or wanted to comment on universal themes of survival.
