On my mind for ages! Here we go!
Skulduggery and Lord Vile represent the monster that comes out in war. Everyone can see that.
Valkyrie and Darquesse represent the monsters that are made. It's corruption, willingly or not; they show that corruption can be anywhere.
But Anton and his gist represent a completely different monster. They represent the monsters that are always there, lurking beneath the surface. They are (literally) made up of every bad thought and feeling that person has.
Sure there are these monsters in bad guys, but they're hidden among the good ones too.
Dear god that is kind of morbid. Not sure where it came from, I just realised one day that Derek made us true heros. Ones that are as messed up- if not more- as us and I thought I'd share my view on it. Does anyone have any opinions on it?
