I love it
So
Much
When an author or a screenwriter or narrator does not explicitly describe a person's death. No paragraph of someone thinking about their life and their decisions up until this point, no gratuitous description of gore. When it's simply implied heavily.
'the Persian had seen the poor, unfortunate Erik for the last time.' (The Phantom of the Opera) '-but the Bauldelaire orphans never heard Count Olaf say another word'/'They did not even notice when Count Olaf closed his eyes for the last time,' (Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events) 'Black in the face, the Jockey went crashing down the spiral stairs and was dead before he hit the bottom.', (Dancing Jax) 'Then he swallows. And I watch Peter dissapear.' (Divergent)
I feel like it hits you harder. Because you're not given time to come to terms with it before it happens??
