The Split of the Structure: An Analysis

The Split of the Structure: An Analysis

Susan's left arm is formed into an acute hexagonal angle, while her right arm forms a more relaxed, pentagonal obtuse angle. The acute angle represents the Manor's influence, while the obtuse symbolizes a deviation from its structure—a symbol of rebellion and divergence. Yet, the acute overlaps the obtuse, implying that the Manor's rigid control stifles her movement, and therefore her expression. Her left arm, hooked across her opposite shoulder, forms a stable triangular structure—one that both supports and restricts her, like a brace or anchor, reinforcing this tension.

The blanket Susan holds with her obtusely angled arm is also symbolic. It represents a comfort or complacency she must overcome. For Susan, for the pentagonal angle to prevail is to symbolically slay the dragon, to free herself from the blanket, and to follow the light she turns towards.
