the end of wieland

i still stick with what i origonally thought of as the major themes of the novel. i feel that fate and unpredictability of life plays a major role in the novel. wieland Sr. couldnt get out of his fate and thus it was passed down to another, and in my opinion, it was passed down to Wieland junior. however, through the entire book, unexplainable and unpredictable eventts kept happening. The hearing of voices to the killing of family memeber. while, in the end, everything was explained, itwas all still extremely crazy events that just kept leading to a more horrible situation. i have to bring up the point also that this novelwas completely told through claras eyes and thus the truth can be altered. i do accept her as a down to earth human being, she could alter certain aspects of the novel because either her understand isnt clear or for her own respect in society.

i want to know more about the connection of characters. i feel if we would know how Wieland Sr. died then it would better explain the restof the novel and what happened to Wieland Jr. Also, it was brought up in earlier classes the connection with reliegion and the time period. was religion a big factor for the people of this time, and if so, how did it shape their lives? that would also explain Wielands quick acceptance to the voices her hears.
