What We Think

Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy is a classic of modern crime fiction, but it’s also a showcase for many of the ‘woke’ trends: subverted gender roles, bleak portrayals of tradition, and little room for old-school alternative values. It’s stylish, but definitely leans heavy on the ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, identity plays a significant role in the Millennium Trilogy, with Lisbeth Salander often depicted as almost superhuman in intelligence and resilience, sometimes at the expense of plausibility. Some narrative choices, especially regarding her trauma, seem framed more as statements about society than organic character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and traditional masculinity are often portrayed as corrupt, abusive, or inept in the trilogy. The books subvert gender roles, especially by making female characters more competent than almost every male counterpart and framing institutions with traditional values as outdated or sinister.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The trilogy rarely offers sincere or positive portrayals of traditional or dissenting values. Dissenting viewpoints usually appear only as extreme, villainous, or absurd, while the main characters mostly share progressive attitudes with little meaningful debate or internal ideological conflict.
