I think this is why I dislike analyzing literature too (although I can do it when required). It's so much more fun just to go along with it. I remember spending the first few chapters of KoA wondering what the heck was going on because Eugenides was NOT acting like himself. Then I got farther into the book and realized that he was acting EXACTLY like himself and it made me happy. I suppose I idealistically wanted it to end "like a fireside story...the goddess of love waves her scepter and [they] all live happily ever after." Which is why I didn't expect a sequel to QoA and why I was so delighted I found out that KoA was coming out.
