To me it just felt like the unfairness of real life. Sometimes people get a shit hand of cards at life, and their death is just quiet and pointless and has no sense or reason to it.
Yeah, but that’s not so something you usually do in stories, because it is a bad reading experience. At most people sacrifice themselves for something and their sacrifice turns out to be in vain. But authors dont just go killing off a protagonist, because they put a lot of work into them and their death needs to have a certain value
Sure. But perhaps not giving it any value could also be a strong point. The fact that it was so senseless made it all the more painful, to me. I honestly hurt more for that death than any other in the books.
That’s what I mean with dying for something but not achieving that. Just having him die randomly felt very jarring, but not in a good way since it didnt really felt connected to the story
