"There's A Hole in the World" Disability, Capitalism, and Shapes in Night in Woods

In this video essay I explore how in Night in the Woods, Mae's life as a Disabled person in a small US rust belt town is shaped by capitalism and ableism, as well as her interpersonal relationships. I also look at the significance of the murder cult and the black goat as a metaphor for capitalism. How does Mae stop seeing people as just shapes? And more importantly how do we?
