THIS IS SO UNDERRATED?! Finally More Tsh Content!!

life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it

I think it's interesting that many of the languages Henry learns are liturgical/sacred/associated with religious works.

Ancient Greek goes without saying, but there's also (If I remember correctly, don't have access to the text at the moment) Coptic, Latin, and Pali.

Henry has been searching for something beyond the physical world to believe in, and feel at home in because he isn't altogether connected to this world. He uses the skill he knows he has, languages, to search for a place he feels spiritually at home.

Him suggesting the bacchanal tells us he does believe in the Greek pantheon, but if we stick with this reading, that makes sense because Julian encourages a tendency he already had.

Henry's headaches could perhaps be likened to trances, further cementing him as a character drawn toward faith. His material wealth also highlights this, as he is mostly disconnected from the real world in the sense of needing to know how much things cost.

His search for faith begins before joining the greek class. This could bring him into a parallel with Richard, who recognizes he himself was in the right circumstances to be in a cult, also searching for something more than his physical/material life

Rereading the secret history years after the first time reading it is sending me right through the loop.

What do you mean Richard was asleep the whole time and barely asked any questions?! What do you mean this man thought getting hypothermia was a better option than asking literally anyone for help? What do you MEAN he didn’t pick up on the fact that his whole friend group was sleeping with each other???!?

He's being happy

uhh???
