So I was thinking all those dreams are flashbacks to things that happened before the prologue opened and you find him all beat up and bandaged in that house. Like he's gone through all this before with Guwon and when things turned sour he went into reset like sisyphus rolling that rock up the hill again. Also sisyphus stole fire from the gods so what if this is some long drawn out fucked up punishment game that guwon likes to play with him?

This one is an interesting one, I have to say. Which is why I love thinking about it. I saw someone mentioned gouwon being hades also in their theory in the comments as well). Which is interesting. Then to build on their comment just to mention hades had a three headed dog. There are three kids. Also according to legend there are seven circles of hell. Where we find each of the characters is they type of he'll they are in. Remember the spiral formation we were shown by the doctor? Treachy is the one at the very centre which leads into his Nightmares about betraying the village

Also, and the deepest respect and no shade. I'm very familiar with the Greek and roman myths. its not really a plot twist or an insane way of thinking of things. I'm make informed ideas based on old literature but it doesn't mean it true. I'd love if they did it that way but we will see what happens so I personally would love to hear what other people have to say about this and what they think.

Do not read if you've just started....

The shackles while easing the pain are a way for the princess to control the members of the family (so a very bad idea beware the doctor is gonna be brainwashed and/or die. As we saw those two children were brainwashed. I think, maybe the fourth princess is a possessor that has been working her way down along the line- probably someone from the time the curse originally started happening. Hopping from wife of the head of the family to wife of the head of the family and gradually letting their blood turn toxic.

Just a theory. Iirc from the novels,
SPOILER!!!!
(the witch who originally cursed the first head of ML's fam posseses the princess' body. Shes an obssessive little biatch who kept possesing other bodies bec she's connected to the curse. Also i never read anything the children veing brainwashed. The novel has a Good ending
This is my favourite right now because it just feels so real in the ridiculousness of it and life. It's honestly chicken soup for my soul. Like even the way the artist drew him drunk was perfect.
