Amy,
Squid Games has been on my watch list for quite some time, now! Your analysis of it is fascinating. It is interesting to see the motives linked to money, which is very common, and how the players each turn to the people who are specialized in a specific area. In terms of the glassmaker, without his extensive knowledge of glass and what makes it strong (and therefore safe to cross), many people would have presumably died there, as they would not be able to see or tell the difference between what is safe and what would lead to their ultimate demise. They turned to a specialist for help, resulting in the lives being spared and the betterment of the people turning to him. His specialty benefited the group immensely. Interesting read, thank you!
