Manson carrying Hodgson on his back at Carnivale before proceeding to fall over and unceremoniously drop his ass like a sack of potatoes is something that can actually be so personal.

Irving and Hickey act as foils in the book

Listen. Those if us who have read The Terror (2007) by Mr. Simmons know it has its issues. I have read some of the most horrid sentences written about women I’ve ever seen in that book. The show significantly improved on many aspects of the story especially in terms of an anti-colonial narrative which I think is vital to how the story should be told.

But honestly there are some amazingly written scenes and character dynamics that the show lacks.

I’ve finished reading the book a second time and I was taken aback by how Hickey and Irving are such direct foils to each other.

Hickey in the book verses the show is pretty similar. They fleshed him out a bit more in terms of his relationships and made him more sympathetic. Primary example is instead of taking advantage of Magnus in a romantic relationship like he was in the book he has one with Gibson which is/was more genuine.

Irving’s character in the show is a shell of who he is in the book. He is much more fleshed out and has a lot of chapters in his pov (much more then even James if memory serves). Also he has more of a relationship with Silna instead of Goodsir. Although Irving was more obsessed with Silna in a way that wasn’t clearly reciprocated in my interpretation. I think changing that plotline to Goodsir was a much better idea.

Hickey and Irving are at odds right from the get go with him discovering Hickey and Gibson/Magnus in the show/book. However in the show after the initial confrontation and Irving’s eventual death, that’s kind of where their interactions and narrative connections end.

In the book this is very different. Both Hickey and Irving are POV characters. Though they may not speak much afterwards often their chapters would follow each other and even mirror each other in some way. A few examples:

Hickey mentioning going to a whorehouse without a sponsor as a figure of speech but Irving mentioning his very positive experience with a sex worker that his dad brought him to

Both have some kind of sexual subplot to their povs. Irving’s desire for Silna, Hickey’s relationship with Magnus

My personal favorite which could have been a great transition in the show is is Hickey emerging from the tunnel to help Blanky after his chase scene with Tuunbaq followed by Irving going into an ice tunnel they found Silna had made to the outside

The prominence of knives is there too with Irving mentioning only having his knife when going out after Silna, using his knife to cut the blubber given to him by the Inuit. Hickey then kills him with a knife (likely a choice by Simmons because Hickeys knife is one of the identifiable artifacts recovered from the expedition)

Irving’s fear of Tuunbaq (amplified by a scene where he actually saw Silna partake in a ritual with Tunbaaq when he was searching for her) while Hickey is intrigued by it shown by him wearing charms of Tuunbaq

So there’s this contrast between the two that could be boiled down to morality. Irving the “good guy” Hickey the “villain.” Simmons is using the Good Christian Lieutenant to contrast with the Mutinous Deviant Caulkers Mate.

But kind of an odd choice to make the main villain of your book’s a foil to a side character right? Arguably he should have made more effort to have Crozier be Hickey’s foil. I’d say Crozier and Hickey are foils to a certain degree in the book and they definitely are in the show. But the contrasts between Hickey and Irving are much clearer. So why?

If you take the constrasts between the two a step farther (because of course I am, I’m this deep already) there is also this really interesting relation of the importance of religion to Irving and Hickey’s death.

For those unaware Hickey’s death is completely different in the book (and in my opinion more satisfying). There is not a lot on what goes down in the mutineer camp because crozier never gets captured and the book focuses on him for the last chunk. The last Hickey chapter finds him in a sledge with him being the only one alive and Magnus’ corpse near him. He believes he has become God. Not like A god like capital G GOD. He has this really well written internal monologue that I think everyone should read. Like he is unbothered by Magnus death because he believes he can bring him back to life at any moment. He’s then humbled when Tuunbaq comes by to eat his soul but then SPITS HIS SOUL OUT AND LEAVES HIM TO FREEZE TO DEATH.

But I digress. Hickey sincerely believes that this whole journey was the story of his personal creation myth.

And I argue Irving’s death is the classic elimination of a heretic/nonbeliever.

I don’t think Hickey had this delusional god complex until after the mutineers left. But I do think Hickey thought Irving was the only thing standing in his way due to him having blackmail if he needed it. And when Irving met the Inuit he knew his power with the mutineers would threatened if there was another group that could offer salvation. So he made the decision to kill Irving.

Both in the show and book I believe this is Hickey’s point of no return. It is an unjustifiable murder that fucks over EVERYONE not just his enemies. He murdered Irving solely for his own personal gain and power.

So I think Irving and Hickey are foils in a way that solidified Hickeys descent into becoming the villain of the story in our perspective and the hero in his own.

And if I dare continue with the religious imagery and further contrast: Hickey may have made himself out to be God, but he made Irving a martyr.

doing my 'I understand this show now' rewatch and I am c r y i n g at this flashback with Hartnell and Manson and David Young all smart in their civvies and hair brushed for their first day of work (Hartnell's stand-up collar! that bright blue of Manson's jacket!)

the reminder that these were just young men excited to be part of something new and different and they're so young with no understanding of what's coming, I think I need someone to hold me

(also Hartnell being lovely and reassuring to David just as he is to Silna, and to Golding. godddd he'd have made such a good captain :()

[ID: two digital illustrations of characters from The Terror. 1) from left to right: Irving, Hodgson, Little, and Jopson in the greatcabin. Irving and Hodgson are bickering over a piece of paper that Irving is holding. They stand a ways behind the table, which is set with matching tea cups, and upon which a corner of a map is visible. Little stands in the foreground with his back to the other lieutenants, choking on his tea in bug-eyed horror while the teacup in his hand sloshes. Jopson in the far background stands with perfect posture by the door. He holds a tea tray, watching from the corner of his eye with a careful, neutral expression. 2) Several sailors and officers are seated around Bridgens in the fo'c'sle as he reads aloud from a piece of paper. Hickey and Peglar stand in the background. To the left of Bridgens, Tozer stands with his arm around Armitage, looking over Bridgens' shoulder at the paper. Armitage looks at Tozer, blushing fiercely. Bridgens himself looks enraptured, gesturing as he orates. On the floor in front of him to the left sit Manson and Morfin, just the backs of their heads visible. Two other unidentifiable heads are visible in front. On the floor to Bridgens' right sit Goodsir and Hartnell. Goodsir watches in adoration, hands folded in front of him, knees tucked up. Hartnell's eyes are closed, utterly transported. Far behind Tozer, Hickey watches in irritation through narrowed eyes. Far behind Goodsir, Peglar watches fondly while leaning against the bulkhead. end ID]
