something a bit unconventional here/can we talk about how perfect this song is for gen and irene?

[pysch-colours.livejournal.com]

or: the exploration of the use of different mediums to convey the same (or not) themes.
i'm pretty sure it's been mentioned in the community before, but good lord, "the queen and the soldier" is perfect for them -- irene especially. (needless to say, i'm more than happy that she didn't turn to be like the queen in the song.) 

i have a request, though. can we do a discussion/analysis? because, being the lit nerd i am, i always like discussion/analysis. so the more discussion/analysis, the better, in my humble opinion. :) (no, seriously, this is a thing. the more we talk about something, the more i grow to love it. which explains the exponential increase of my love of the queen's thief books since i joined this group.)

• what, if any, is the meaning of the song? is it just a narrative? or is it symbolic/allegorical? and if so, of what?
• if it is symbolic, what are the symbols? and how do they apply to the queen's thief series?
• in context of the queen's thief series, who is the queen and who is the soldier? is the interpretation of irene as the queen and eugenides as the soldier the only valid one? if so/not, why? could there also be multiple interpretations of the intrinsic meaning of the song? if so, how does each connect to the other (and back to qt again, because sounis is a qt community)?
• how does the use of colour and/or motifs emphasize certain themes? (if it does at all.) does mwt use similar methods?
• do you feel that the death of the soldier is literal? should it be taken literally? and do the feelings of the soldier and the queen apply to a broader population than just these two specific individuals?
• what general atmosphere is evoked through the use of the soft, calm melody of the song? to what end? how does mwt use words to evoke her own atmosphere? again, to what end?
• do you think that, without gen, irene would have ended up like the queen in the song? or would she have "gotten better" eventually?
• in what ways do the other characters resemble the queen? in what ways do they resemble the soldier? why is this?

just some questions i'd personally like to discuss, mostly because i'm interested in how different forms of media tell the same general story (and that's not to say that either the queen and the soldier or the qt series have plagiarised -- but i do think there are similarities worth exploring) in different ways. (which is why i'm definitely not a purist who dislikes seeing movies of the book.) feel free to discuss anything (and obv there's really no wrong answer) or completely crush my hopes and dreams by not responding at all. ;) 

idk i'm one of those people who like to harp on about their favourite books and the devices used to convey certain messages, or talk constantly about connections drawn and...yeah. so this is a little...dabble? in something a little bit new (i mean, we're used to talking about the books, but i don't think we've done something like this?) and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. :)
