- being the expendable tool of exploration in an unknown world
/ Simons world being the blocean
/ Piranesiâs world being the house
Notable differences in this theme being that Piranesiâs pontius is one man driven by selfishness & simons is the head of an organization simply trying to continue the survival of humanity.
-reinstatement of a golden age
/piranesi seeking old knowledge
/simon seeking prosperity
The information Piranesi is looking for may not even exsist, while prosperity is a goal the could be reached in many plausible ways.
/simon changing the world through apotheosis
/piranesi changing himself; taking his power back through rebirth
-the universe expiriencing itself
/âgod loves you, but cannot keep you without breaking youâ
/âthe beauty of the house is immeasurable; its kindness is infiniteâ
/simon making himself sick with his already limited supplies
/piranesi learning the tides and carving a niche
/claustrophic submarine in a hostile blood ocean
/open air and neutral tides
/simon doing grunt work of collecting information
/Piranesi perceiving himself as the scientist studying his own data
I think they would get on very well (maybe not mrs bc he used to be a dickkkk). Simon would probably be jealous that piranesi was put in a (slightly less un-) survivable scenario, but would probably be disturbed by the state of mind he took on being alone for so long. Would beat the shit out of piranesiâs pontius. Piranesi would be very protective of simon and interested in how he got here.
