Love Tractor analysis of chapters 1, 2, 10, and 23 that no one asked for 😎👍

Let's start off with the fact that LT is about Yool. As much as I gush about Yechan and how much I love him, the main focus of the story always goes back to Yool. LT is about his struggles with+
his sexuality, his strained relationship with both his father and his boyfriend, his loss of passion for music, and his much needed escape from the chaos of his personal life that causes him anxiety.

From the very first chapter, we can already see glimpses of his past and+
we have a small understanding of what he's feeling before he heads off to his grandfather's house. The panels show him playing the piano with his boyfriend and his dad catching them being affectionate with each other. You can already tell from his expression that he isn't happy.

A dad that's unhappy with his gay son? Of course there's gonna be some issues that arise from that. We don't exactly know what those issues are till ch 23 but we do see snippets of it from ch10. The only thing we DO know is that it was bad enough for Yool to want an escape.
At the beginning of ch 2, we get more of an explanation as to where Yool's relationship with his boyfriend, Insuh, currently lies. They're on the verge of breaking up, and the only thing stopping Yool from cutting ties is the fact that he doesn't know if he's ready to rediscover+
the part of him that he lost when he was with Insuh. He's holding onto his happy memories from before the incident (dad catching them), and using that as an excuse to stay with Insuh, even though their love for each other is already burnt out.

Cut to ch 10. This is when we see Yool and Insuh have a conversation in Yool's dream. The conversation was real; it was a flashback that Yool had. From this conversation alone we can already tell that Insuh is bad news. He essentially guilt trips Yool into staying with him.
Their conversation happens in an aquarium. The symbolism of the aquarium is briefly explained by Yool in these dialogue panels, where he implies that he feels trapped. Yool feels as though he can't do anything outside of his plans for himself, or rather, what was set out for him+

by his father (which i'll explain in a bit). In an aquarium, the fish and other creatures are placed in an environment where they have no freedom; they can only do as much as they can with the choices they are given. In Yool's case, from what is shown in ch 10, the options given+
to him from that conversation were to either stay with Insuh, or leave him and have this lingering fear that he might do something stupid. Yool hasn't been able to make his own choices for a while. Everything he does has been for others, which makes the aquarium metaphor perfect.
I know this is sad BUT the fun thing about ch 10 and the whole aquarium part is that it ends with Yechan breaking Yool out of there and escaping it. Very cool foreshadowing in my opinion! It was pretty subtle too unless you really sat there and thought about it.
Now for the Big Boy: chapter 23! This chapter is all about Yool's backstory and what led him to the present day (at the farm). As we saw from the first chapter, we knew that his relationship with his father was rocky, but we were finally able to observe the severity of it.
Yool was given an ultimatum after he got caught. He had to choose between breaking up with Insuh to continue pursuing music, or go to law school per his father's wishes and give up music entirely while being able to stay with Insuh. To Yool, there was only one wise choice.
Yool is the type of person that puts everyone else first. He doesn't think about what's best for himself, or alternatively, he believes that the best thing for him is to bring himself down to lift everyone else up. His father's reputation remained unscathed, he stayed together+
with Insuh, and he wasn't disowned by his family. To Yool, that was probably the best it was gonna get because that was the option that gave happiness to the most amount of people, even if that meant sacrificing his love and passion for music.

Yool was so deep into his relationship with Insuh that he forgot his own feelings existed. He was watching his boyfriend thrive as he sat back and supported him while ignoring the fact that he was jealous of Insuh's growing success. That success could've happened to Yool.
Yool has repressed his emotions for so long that it started to affect his mental health. There is a clear lack of communication between him and Insuh, and it's mostly because he's afraid of telling the truth. If he tells the truth about how he's jealous of Insuh's success, then+
it would ultimately lead to a faster decline in their relationship. Yool doesn't want that to happen because at the time, Insuh was his only support system. If he didn't have Insuh to go back to then he would have no one. All of this fear he bottled up over time manifested into+
anxiety, which he can be seen going to therapy for in a few panels. He's trapped once again. Yool describes himself as sinking deep into water if he doesn't take his medication, which is another call-back to the aquarium metaphor. This time, however, it's harder to escape it.

Yool goes through a depressive episode, he doesn't talk to his boyfriend, he (presumably) stops taking his medication for a bit, and he falls deep into this pit of self-loathing and unease. The difference between the tidiness of his room is enough to show that this slump has+

been lasting for a few days now. Assuming from earlier chapters, we can see that he has a fairly close relationship with his mother. So, the fact that Yool has been avoiding everything must have been what drove his mom into visiting him at his apartment. Great mom tbh!

Yool's mother realises how badly Yool has been affected by everything that has happened to him, and suggests that he takes some time off to collect himself. She also regrets not standing up for him in front of his father. She reminds him that his grandfather loved hearing him+
play the piano for him, and she suggests that he should go over to his house (while he's in the hospital) so that he can hopefully rest. This isn't foreshadowing to us, but it's foreshadowing to Yool that there would be something there waiting for him that'll bring him happiness.
At the farm, he meets Yechan. Yechan is the happy-go-lucky, carefree personality that Yool needed. Yool has been so consumed by his melancholy that he forgot how to loosen up. Yechan unintentionally teaches him how to be himself again and also teaches him how to stop worrying+
about the little things. He is the sun, and is there to make sure Yool comes out of the dark.
