Hi Josh,

I finished pentiment yesterday and what an amazing game it was! I loved the visual details and font telling you about the character and how Andreas saw them.

I do have a Burning question on my mind, namely Karl's hat. Does the spoon and the red color combo hold any symbolism for something?

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The spoon in Karl's hat is a reference to a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder called The Peasant Wedding. The man on the right carrying the tray behind him has a spoon in his hat. This was also referenced in The Return of Martin Guerre (film) by a character who wore a spoon in his hat.

"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1560);

"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" (poem), William Carlos Williams (1960);

"Musée des Beaux Arts" (poem), W. H. Auden (1938);

“ICARUS”, STARSET;

“Icarus”, Bastille;

“Fun”, Coldplay;

“Sunlight”, Hozier;

“I, Carrion (Icarian)”, Hozier;

Icarus's passing is seen by Bruegel, Williams, and Auden as a minor incident in the grand scheme of existence. Williams' "quite unnoticed" serves as a reminder/memento mori of our own mortality. Dying is not such a remarkable occurrence, life moves on without us when we pass away. And sometimes all that can be heard at the end of a life is a just a brief splash sound.

"Icarus" by STARSET is about a self-destructive character. They interpret the story of Icarus as an allegory for being too self-absorbed at the expense of others. The lines "you'll never be good enough" and "you always fly right up until it burns" as well as "you'll never go through them" all allude to a tendency to constantly pursue the same route over and over no matter what.

Bastille's "Icarus" retells Icarus's story alongside a modern tragedy. The opening scene of "Icarus" shows a person preparing to "dig their own grave" and "drink themselves to death." The song continues by drawing a comparison between death and Icarus, who is "flying too close to the sun/ And Icarus's life, it has only just begun". With these lines, Bastille adapt the Icarus myth to a more contemporary setting, creating associations with tragedy and the carelessness of wasted youth.

In the song "Fun" by Coldplay, the singer likens himself to Icarus and confesses, "I know it's over before she says/ Now someone else has taken your place/ I know it's over, Icarus says to the sun". The Icarus myth is reframed by Coldplay as a tragic love story between a young person and the sun.

Hozier's song "Sunlight" describes how he is ready to die (metaphorically) in order to be with the person he views as his sunlight. While Hozier's main concern in "I, Carrion" is his lover's support, even in the face of death. The narrator's deep yearning for their lover's companionship leads them to embrace death willingly. Just as Icarus dismissed Daedalus' warning about flying too high, Hozier shows a similar disregard, blinded by love, prioritizing his over to the point of placing them over his own life.
