Hood’s journey, while ostensibly linear, is inflected with moments of recursive self-reflexivity, highlighting the contested nature of agency within oppressive structures. The lycialistic interception is a paradigmatic example of Foucauldian surveillance and biopolitical control, wherein the body becomes the contested site of power relations.
