What is the significance of souls in the text?
Souls are incredibly significant in this text, and are especially significant to peculiar characters, who get their power from their soul. Souls are contained in the addictive substance ambrosia, which is used by many of the characters in the text and are also consumed by Hollowghasts who use souls to restore their humanity. A soul contains someone's essence, which means they are integral to a person's humanity in the text. Without a soul, beings become empty and corrupted.
