Aurora had asked me if these songs represent the type of music Finch would listen to, but he hasn't had access to TV, radio, or the Internet for eleven years. Rather, these songs represent pieces of Finch's character: his self-disfigurement, his isolation, his discontentment with living in Hades Laboratories, and his paralyzing fear of Anne Hades.

The latter three songs are not to be listened to as if from Finch's point of view - but they fit beautifully for how Finch knows Anne wants him to behave around her.

I'm terrible. D:

But they're all to be interpreted in many ways, both literally and with a grain of salt.

The ending chorus for "The Way You Treat Me," sung quite plaintively, is suiting for Finch:

You say
You'll never leave me
You say
You'll always need me
And the way you treat me
Is acceptable

Anne is a bitch.

This snippet from "Ways & Means" struck me as Finch-inspiring as well:

Maybe I can do it
If I put my back into it
I can leave you if I wanted
But there's nowhere else that I can go

Maybe I won't suffer
If I find a way to love her
I'd be lying to myself
But there is no way out that I can see


Just something of possible interest to my friends and readers. I've added a bit to Chapter Four, and I feel confident I will complete it before I return for winter term.

OH AND MOM GOT THE THEME SONG FOR KIMBA THE WHITE LION STUCK IN MY HEAD 'CAUSE SHE WATCHED IT AS A KID AND I RANDOMLY BROUGHT UP HOW THE LION KING IS POSSIBLY A RIPOFF OF KIMBA AND SO YEAH HERE IT IS:
