We, The Infected

Hi everyone I'm new to the group thanks for having me since seeing the film when oskar goes to elis place and sees her puzzles and possessions i was just wondering if some of you know what they are and how old they are thanks and also what they represent

Greetings! Welcome to the club.

The book and film don't give any information about how old any of the items are or where Eli got them from, so it's really anyone's guess.

Their narrative function, as said by John on this forum and in the UK commentary track, is mainly to hint at Eli's mysterious past and show to readers and viewers how much free time he has.

That said, someone might be able to identify the puzzles that appear in the film. I don't know if any of them are based on real toys or if they were all just props made up for the film.
