SQUID GAME AND RELIGION

I MIGHT SOUND CRAZY BUT HEAR ME OUT.

the usage of religion and religious metaphors in squid game, particularly salvation is incredibly not touched on.

the first interaction gi-hun has with the salesman, religion is mentioned. “i don’t believe in jesus” then, when he was rescued, he too was untied by a religious person.

not only is this an inclusio of sorts, but it also shows themes of salvation. the salesman, in a way, serves as the “jehovah’s witness” of the games, seeking people out to save them. giving them an opportunity. if you think about it, thanos too, likely saw the salesman as some kind of angel, quite literally saving him from death (not for long lol) this is a contrast to the actual religious person saving him when he was tied down (and gagged by a credit card??) on the streets. a sort of figurative-to-literal parallel.

there’s also literally an episode called hell [01x02], showing how awful the characters lives are outside of the games. they’re all living in their own personal hells.

the games are their only form of salvation, similarly to how in christianity jesus christ is the only way to salvation and heaven, the games are seen to be these characters only hopes, only ways to “heaven”. the games too are framed as something simple, “just children’s games”, similarly to how believing in christ is seen as something easy and simple.

unfortunately 244 and 044 are also overlooked, but they both are important religious characters.

244 serves as kind of a foil to ji-yeong (who is, by the way, a character traumatized by religion, who ironically went out through sacrifice — biblically said to be one of the holiest methods of death)

and while we don’t know much about 044 in general, she is incredibly adamant on the belief on fate and that when and where you die are not up to you. once again, another common religious belief, believed through all religions.

(i make points mainly through christianity because i know the most about it, but other religions are brought up too — like 044’s shamanism. the concept of salvation is too, a general belief that runs through most religions.)

ali calling sang-woo bhaiya when he speaks urdu. is this anything?

so funny when people make sang-woo the evil ex from gi-hun's past. he would NOT be acting like that in 2020 if he had ever actually hit. he would be 300% crazier but in a completely different way

If that took her out, she'll be lucky to make it through this rotation. I got fifty bucks says she doesn't last through this shift. Come on! Put your money where your mouth is. Uh, no. I didn't say anything, okay? And I sure as hell don't have fifty bucks. I'll be this lady's age before I pay off my student loans.
