Part 6/8:
The latter part of the excerpt introduces elements of a pact, which suggests a power play between the characters. “This is the bargain. If you see my army, you can see Wanda again,” speaks volumes about the ensuing conflict. Here, loyalty is not just about caring for someone; it begins to resemble a transaction wherein one must fulfill obligations to maintain a connection.
The character's willingness to lead an army “anything for Wanda” echoes the extremes to which individuals may go out of love. It serves as a reminder that loyalty can demand sacrifices, and in narratives, such sacrifices often have dramatic repercussions. The warning, “If you fail me, you will...” dangles in the air, leaving the audience to ponder the consequences of betrayal.
