haunting the narrative

I often have this conversation with my friends bcs i feel like many people forget what this trope means. Haunting the Narrative is like such a beautiful trope it deals with things like remberance after death, what does it mean to be loved? what does it mean to be hated? what are you now? And guilt. It's such a beautiful way to portray grief and guilt within media. When i think about haunting the narrative i think about someone who's death or absence creates this vacuum that is so intense and volumetric that everybody or majority of everybody feels this absence and is struck by it wether that be guilt, love, envy, sadness or like hatred. Haunting the narrative is that gust of wind, that chill the audience and the characters within the story to their core, that glare of the sunlight that hit the grass just right that reminds the characters of a time before the haunter left. Haunting the narrative means you as the character is immortalized within the environment and setting your absence is a character of its own. it's enigmatic and untouchable, hazy and ghost like. Your image is formed by the way others speak about you and how your last moments are shrouded. (yes this was inspired by my hatred of how losely people in the yellowjackets fandom throw around this term and how better laura palmer, rachel amber, and even i would say rose quartz do a better job at haunting the narrative than jackie taylor)  (i also just have a deep rooted hatred for the yellow jackets show and fandom)
