Nine Malic Moulds 
represents nine types of jobs that could be held by men, these bachelors, in 1915: a priest, a department-store delivery boy, a gendarme, a cuirassier, a policeman, an undertaker, a flunky, a busboy and a stationmaster. Duchamp viewed each shape as a mold for a person to be pressed into and formed. In the act of vying for attention, they go through three emotional states—intention, fear and desire. The bachelors’ intentions are to meet the bride, but fear of consequences holds them back. This fear can only be countered by the strength of their desire for her.
"Tarnished are those who have died outside of the Lands Between, only to be awakened by grace and beckoned there"
"Rise now, ye tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long lost grace speaks to us all"
The Nine Starting Classes, and the Wretch.

While there are 9 Malic Moulds displayed in The Large Glass, they represent an infinite number, just as there can be any number of people playing Elden Ring at any given time.
