Ouf. So much to digest. I like the analysis of classical stories to base a foundation on the construction of grammar, themes, and story telling in general – but there is a lot of vaguery mixed in with some specificity. This goes all over the place and sometimes just feels like plot analysis of the classics…

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
