V for V(c)onnections
The current chapters are showing Sophie that her world is not real, but i tlies in the pages of a book, and if the pages stop turning, her world ceases to exist. This is a lot like the Man watching the shadows on the wall of a cave scenario, which is represented well in Source Code and Fight Club. In source code, the main character, like sophie, constantly receives clues that his real is some sort of altered state. When he finds clues, his world bends into a wider area, opening his mind. Sophie just sees things like characters from other fictional writings appear and characters exclaiming a change in page, paragraph, or chapter. In Fight Club, the main character has created a 2nd personality in order to live a life he wishes he could, a free life of mayhem and destruction. But he does not know that another world inside his mind exists, like that of Hilde or Sophie. Hilde is like "the narrator" in Fight Club. He sees his 2nd persona who does not exist and they live very similar lives. Sophie is Tyler Durden. The mode up person, living a life without rules, one lives without law and the other without any restrictions at all. Pretty similar since you could attach characteristics of their lives to both.
