Something I never see anyone speak about regarding LIS1: "Et in Arcadia ego."

When I first played the game, I hadn't noticed it, as there was a significant maturity gap from then to now—but in light of the new game coming out starring Max, I decided to fire up the OG LIS as a refresher. Something I hadn't even thought of until hearing the words "Arcadia Bay" again is that, by Greek definition, Arcadia means "paradise." Then that got me thinking of a western classic I had read somewhat recently called "Blood Meridian" (or "The Evening Redness in the West," depending on who you speak to) by Cormac McCarthy, which is popularly accredited amongst book lovers as one of the best researched English novels in the world. Don't search for this book if you have a sensitive stomach or heart.

The point of the matter is: a character called "The Judge." In this case, all that matters is that the character represents evil, more importantly, the devil. This character owns a gun with the engraving "Et in Arcadia ego," which translates to "Even in Arcadia, there am I," a reminder that death is present even in paradise. It should be acknowledged this quote does not wholly belong to "The Evening Redness," but is originally traced to a term coined by Pope Clement IX in the 17th century, who found inspiration from Virgil's 'Arcadian' Eclogues.

Given the bold themes of death and sullying that which is pure, I connect this quote to the story of LIS1. I'm not sure if it's wholly intentional, but it is by far one of my favorite schizo details I've demented myself into believing is canon.

Et in Arcadia ego

The phrase, which is the title of this painting -also known as The Arcadian Sheperds-, is very anterior.

Arcadia/Arcady is an utopian concept of idyllic nature in full bloom and deserted by all but youngful and pretty sheperds, living away from the corruption in the city, morally pure and close to nature. You'll find it referenced into poetry.

Now, let's speak translations. I haven't studied Latin for years but my loyal wikipedia and I will try not to mess up (step in if you think it's necessary !)

So, "Et in Arcadia ego" offers several possibilities.

Indeed, you can't know for sure which one it is because the verbe implied is "esse" (to be) and can be omitted in some cases in Latin.

It could either mean "I am in Arcadia too" or "I, too, was in Arcadia"

Just to get this out of the way, the large block in the painting is a tomb -I mean, without my glasses, it doesn't seem that obvious-

In the first proposition, "I" represents Death, stating that even living the dream, us humans are only mere mortals in the end.

Or... or "I" is the dead, which is our second option. Just because you are in Arcadia doesn't mean you won't die. But there's another interpretation : the person buried here has lived in Arcadia and had enjoyed earthly pleasures in their life here.

Apparently, grammatically wise, the first option is more likely but I don't grasp why so I'm not going to explain
