There is so much exhaustive evidence that stakes and stuffed lions are objects and the one-winged servants are just people that to point it out belabors some points and misses others entirely. You may reject the fantasy characters that they're analogues of; but that fails to dismiss the questions their archetypes ask.

Sounds reasonable. So would you insist that they're less alike than Gengi and Ronove?
