My knowledge of Shakespeare mostly consists of reading Hamlet over and over again because it just goes all the way down. My Shakespeare education is really bad, but I’m definitely a fan. I felt like if you were going to have magic powers, you should pay for them.
You stir counter-clockwise I mean, counter-clockwise. It’s cooking! They’re like, “This is your recipe.” I mean, I can cook, it’s not that hard. In fact, I still don’t know why magic was hard in Harry Potter, I still don’t know why potions is hard! Potions is so easy. Reading about magic, especially Harry Potter, but even in other contexts, I never felt it was hard enough. The rest of it, I just sort of ground my way out but we’ve gone off the topic. And I think I won a writing prize my junior year of high school and it was the first time I ever felt I had a gift for anything. But I wasn’t bright enough just to sail through I had to really flog myself through it. I couldn’t stand getting bad grades – I couldn’t stand it. I don’t know anybody who worked as hard as I did in high school. Yeah, I was a real grinder in high school. That’s interesting, because if you were a high school kid who got into Harvard, presumably you were very good at a lot of things. It was the only thing I ever felt like I had a talent for – reading books and talking about them. I looked at it, and I felt like I could see the parts moving, and I understood the structure, and I understood the talk about it. Dalloway, I thought, I can flog myself through chemistry, and I can probably understand 80% of it, but I felt like I understood how worked. Dalloway was the real turning point for me. His death scene might as well have had the words "why bother" written across it.Well, I never got a PhD. However, in the end, The Magicians tossed all that aside by implying that the guy who spent his whole life fighting to live might have committed suicide. Much of Quentin's personal journey throughout the series was about overcoming his depression and learning not to rely on just one thing to keep him grounded. In death, he heads to the Underworld where he meets Penny 40 and begins to ponder the true reasons for his sacrifice, wondering if he mended the seam not to save his friends but because he knew it would kill him: "Did I do something brave to save my friends or did I finally find a way to kill myself?" Knowing it will kill him, he mends the seam and forces the Monster in, dying in the process. When the seam broke, though, Quentin makes the choice to sacrifice himself. In the Season 4 finale, Quentin and his friends succeeded in freeing Eliot from the Monster that was possessing his body and locked it away in the seam, the place between worlds.
