The Tin Drum/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Both Works:

  • Squick: Oskar has a lot of fun with the women while in the body of a three-year-old.

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Considering Dorothea hesitated a very long time to push Oskar away when he buried his face in her crotch, as well as the fact that she thought it was a good idea to undress in front of him to begin with, one could easily interpret her actions as that of a sexually confused young woman. Not that she could be entirely to blame since Oskar is chronologically (and somewhat mentally) a teenager by that point.
