TGC has so many fine moments! One section that for me contained an absolute horror was the imprisonment described in "The Daemon-Cages" and "The Silver Guillotine", particularly the attempt to sever the bond between Lyra and Pantalaimon. This was an attack on the child's very identity and sense of being. I suspect that Pullman is using the scene as a general parable on dehumanising ideologies in our world.
