Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Roald Dahl
*Squid Game* is an allegory of extreme capitalism. This survivor drama is also a classic Romance, a hero's quest, resonant of Roald Dahl's *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* as well as the search of Diogenes. We relate to these narratives, because we yearn for moral decency.
