Pojkart Oskar ●
Unlike stereotypical innocent boy characters, Oskar possesses a chilling capacity for violence. When he meets Eli, he admits he would like to kill. However, Lindqvist frames this as part of boyish moral development — testing boundaries between right and wrong. Oskar’s transformation from victim to someone who can strike back (with Eli’s help) shows the fragility of boyhood morality.
