Greg and mirrors

from thewaitisogre on tumblr

Greg never looks in the mirror…..

I think it definitely gives more to the multiple selves he puts on for people. We know that there is (or was?) a side of Greg that was never part of the Roys, when he was free from the viper’s nest. Where does that self go when he’s in their world?

His aversion to looking in the mirror reflects his mental state of not wanting to reflect on who he is. I wonder how this fits in with the siblings’ mirror problems, being forced to look at yourself breaking down and being mocked. Maybe if you never look in the mirror you never experience that type of pain, but not looking in the mirror comes with its own problems. You never get a clear image of who you are… and maybe Greg is more lost…. than stubbornly ignorant.

I’m not sure if this is projection from too many fanfics but he also seems to have insecurities about his body. I felt thatttt and have my own problems with the mirror. It’s different from Roman’s way of expressing that anxiety, being overly critical with his reflection. This is now making me think about Roman & Greg contrasts hhhh but like I’ll save that another day. Sorry to be serious about Gregory Hirsch i think he’s an enigma
