Okay but. Something about Dora Ingerlund not being allowed to just be a human person. Because we see her through Harry's eyes, she is always either deified or demonised. Which is how women are often seen - either a perfect pure angel, or the evil bitch who ruined you. And in Dora's case, this harmful mindset is depicted perfectly. She's never just a woman, just some person, a human trying to make it through life. She is either Dolores Dei, a holy figure, resplendent and untouchable, or she's the ex-something, the shadow looming over you, the damn woman-thing who tore your heart out. Never just Dora. It's so fucked up, but so well done.

"You took me for a fool
You stole my youth
You wanted this so much
You watched me rise
Then killed my light
And now you know
I'm not your fucking goddess"
Thanks @wompty-domptydom for inspo <3

I read a post a while ago talking about how a lot of "dead wife man" characters would be improved if the wife divorced the husband rather than died and i cannot get over how Disco Elysium is a perfect example of how true that is. If Dora died rather than leaving Harry so much of the story would've been so much less impactful, especially the Working Class Corpse quest.
Even ignoring how sexist that trope is, exploring the relationship between two people who were genuinely in love and then separated gives so much more room for messy and complicated feelings!!! No dead wife flashback will ever hit as hard as being able to call your ex wife and realizing that not only is she doing fine without you she's actually doing BETTER because you separated. The feelings of inadequacy!!! The abandonment issues!!! It's all *chefs kiss* i love it. Disco Elysium does so much perfectly but this is one of my favorites.

you must have felt so damn deceived when you
made up a version of me that you thought you loved
but i am not your aphrodite
