Specifically the young delusional drive to pursue their dreams no matter who it involves or affects. As well as not the well rounded protagonist, rather a deeply flawed person yet still charming enough to root for?
Thank you for asking this!
Seriously, I mean it.
I watched Marty Supreme last week, and it’s stuck with me since – trying to figure out if I loved it, or merely really, really liked it.
Anyway, your post has me going down a new path – comparing it to other themes I’ve encountered in literature.
I immediately thought of Rabbit. Run. by John Updike.
If you haven’t read it yet, I recommend you do. Love to hear what you think about similarities.
