I still can't help but feel like you went into it with your issues with religion leading the way, with the result that every possible interpretation led in a single direction. As I said, I think there's a lot more to it than that. I'll add one more thing, and this coincides with something that's been on my mind lately.

I think the book is also asking a serious question about why people choose to be virtuous when they know that plenty of others won't.
