u cant say zafon is exploring the psyche and not the real world. psyche is real, its the totality of the human mind conscience and unconscious. david is not insane,in fact doubting your sanity is in fact a proof tht u are sane. its like in a horror movie with real devils and monsters.u cnt say the characters are crazy. corelli is real and is evil, he manipulates and changes things in a way only a supernatural being can.
Earlier in the book it makes a reference to God being made up of two different parts. So basically God is all things good and all things evil in the world, which would explain Corelli's purpose, immortality, and dual personalities. He is depicted in black until the epilogue where he is wearing white and is offering David a second chance with Christina. So maybe Correli is David's version of God and he sells his soul to become an immortal servant of God's will (an angel)?? I have no idea, I was pretty lost by the end and will have to reread it. Also, this is a very loose theory so bear with me, but did you see any relation between the religion David was creating and the rise of Hitler and the third reich? I kind of got a feel of that from the outline that a young hero will rise to power as a savior of the people, recruiting the tenacity and aggression of the youth to enact "God's Will"? In the epilogue David refers to the Second World War possibly as the world of flames that he dreamt up... Thoughts?
I've searched and searched trying to get the answer about why the Sempere Jr I know, why his timeline doesn't match up. I was getting so frustrated, trying to find the answer without also spoiling other aspects of the book. When something is nagging at you that bad, it can take away from your enjoyment of other aspects of the story, so I didn't want to wait until I finished. Well I found my answer in the first few sentences of your explanation, and thank goodness. Although, now I feel a bit silly for not thinking of it myself. Anyhow, I just wanted to say thank you for easing my mind.
