Fenders Narrative Symmetry

Ok wait sorry if someone pointed this out already but is anyone else just fascinated by how neatly Fenris and Anders’ arcs parallel one another?

As children - Anders keeps trying to run away. He’s alone, and he’s trying to survive. He doesn’t do it for anyone else, he’s escaping from people who chase him down, hurt him and imprison him.

Fenris actively chooses to fight his oppressors (admittedly within their limitations.) He sacrifices himself and his own chance at freedom for the sake of others, and willingly allows his body to be permanently changed, giving him strange and unusual powers.

As adults - Fenris runs away. He’s alone, he doesn’t take anyone with him. He’s trying to survive and he’s escaping from people who chase him down, hurt him and try to enslave him.

Anders chooses to fight his oppressors. He willingly allows his body to be permanently changed, giving him strange and unusual powers, in order to fight for the freedom and safety of others.
