I wouldn’t say he’s gratuitous, and despite that I recognize how triggering this all could have been, I was not triggered myself. I keep thinking of how open and truthful Tiffany is with her father about what it means to be a witch, and I think you can see that same openness between Pratchett and the reader, too. Pratchett is mostly unflinching in his portrayal of the tragedy of the Petty family, and even that feels intentional. Âīut I also don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest that “Rough Music†is one of the more difficult chapters to read in the Discworld series. Which isn’t to suggest that there were not dark moments of human interaction in past books with her I think she’s always dealt with things that were complicated, messy, and terrible. I’m going into the rest of this book believing that this tonal change in the Tiffany series is intentional, that Pratchett is showing us that as Tiffany grows as a witch, she increasingly must deal with messier and messier situations. Trigger Warning: For extended discussion of abuse, misogyny, death of a child, violence. Intrigued? Then it’s time for Mark to read Discworld. In the second chapter of I Shall Wear Midnight, Tiffany must deal with a nightmarish situation as the witch of the Chalk.
