So, just to clarify, my essay is not about the Emperor’s morality. My essay is an academic analysis about the construction of monstrosity - specifically, the queer, Gothic nature of the Emperor’s monstrosity. I contextualize this theme within the game’s writing. Lore is part of that, but far from the only piece.
Monstrosity is a broad subject and quite a lot of academic writing exists on its meaning, language, and symbols. This essay is about how this subject is explored in the game.
