However, Clarissa isn’t the only one who’s under the ghosts’ control. With Clarissa on the other hand it’s harder to tell, because she already has a grudge against you and her tone is condescending to say the least. Throughout the game, various members of the group become possessed and you know it’s not them, because from what little you’ve learned about them, they wouldn’t say things like that. I called Clarissa antagonistic for a reason earlier, because not only is she antagonistic when she isn’t possessed, but she’s also antagonistic when she is, to the point where it’s hard to tell what part is Clarissa and what part is the ghosts. No matter what you do, Clarissa gets possessed by the ghosts and remains their puppet for the remainder of the game, forcing Alex to confront Clarissa in more ways than one. Even though Oxenfree runs on multiple diverging points, there are still some instabilities that happen no matter how many times you play, one of which involves Clarissa. This is shown by the Alexs from other games coming into your save files and trying to tell you what you should and shouldn’t say. This is also applicable to Oxenfree, because we experience Alex’s slow maturation throughout the story, slowly realizing that there are things she can’t change, even if she tries to. But in Adolescent literature, death is often depicted in terms of maturation when the protagonist accepts the permanence of morality, when she/he accepts herself as a being towards death.” “In children’s literature, learning about death symbolizes a degree of separation from one's parents adult literature confronts death in a variety of intricate perspectives that it seems difficult to trace a pattern on the topic. In Roberta Trites’ Novel “ Disturbing the Universe: Power and Repression in Adolescent Literature”, she states the following: Throughout the story, Alex is the one shown to be going through the motions of the grieving process the most, visually speaking, if we are going by the moments where she relives small moments of her life with Michael. It’s as though both of them have a difficult time accepting Alex’s death as what it was: an accident.
