“I just noticed Harry repeats one of Cowl’s lines almost word for word”
In the scene where Murphy’s shade asks Harry what he thinks about giving up drinking, Harry responds:
“If I was insane, would I know it?”
What caught me off guard is that Cowl says almost the exact same thing back in Dead Beat during one of his early confrontations with Dresden.
I don’t think this is accidental.
Jim usually repeats phrases intentionally, especially when two characters mirror each other philosophically or psychologically.
Harry saying one of Cowl’s lines during a moment tied to self-destruction and identity feels… weirdly deliberate.
Makes me wonder if this is subtle foreshadowing for the whole “Harry could become Cowl” theory.
Did anyone else catch this?
