The narrator does not claim to answer life's fundamental questions. He only tries to put the age-old ones a little differently, as his own experiences prompt him, offering his definition of love and his reflections on the soul and on names, each of which he links to a person and a character. He rejects the very idea of character: he does not want to be predictable but unique, a clean, blank sheet. Not everything he says can be believed; he is whistling on the way through a dark forest to keep up his courage.
