Ingalls plays with the archetype of the traditional Gothic Hero with Larry (who is about as average as his name). Larry very well may be the lonely housewife Dorothy’s own creation, both as an erotic object and a compensation for her lost children.
Both odd and profound, I’m happy Del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water’ brought this back into print.

Therefore, it makes sense that the ending would be devastating, but I was quite unprepared for how devastating it would be, because not only was it WAY too real, it was completely justified and horrifically beautiful. No "drama for shock value" stuff here. This is the real deal.
This ending was like having your heart ripped out by a gourmet chef, who sautés it right in front of you with herb butter and garlic. You're reeling from the shock of such sudden violence, and by the time your senses return, the chef serves you your heart, glistening with luscious sauce beside some bright spring greens. You numbly take a bite...and it's the most delicious thing you've ever tasted.
