Discussion of The Tower of Swallows, Chapter 6

We're doubling down on the themes introduced in the last chapter, specifically the comparison between Ciri and Angoulême. Sapkowski stretches the parallels to breaking point and suggests some fascinating distinctions between the two characters that lead us to a revealing conversation about ultraviolence and vengeance. We also advance the Thomas Hobbes state of nature discussion with even more animal-themed characters, and fresh insight into Sapkowski's commentary on the social contract. Oh and one guy looks like a frog.
