WILL O' THE WISP

As I read 'WILL O' THE WISP' and comments from the blog, i thought myself that the readers should think this book is almost in praise of suicide or seeking to explain the leads suicide and why it's logical. I think that's furthest meaning of this book. I strongly agree with it beacuse it does detail the pathology of suicide. The pride, the self-loathing, the jealously of other people. But it does so in a way that makes this pathology seem absurd. For example, there is a guy about to commit suicide and he is more with it and probably talented than everyone he is around. These people have just found a small niche to hide out in and survive and take small pleasures from life. These people are providing the blueprint for how the lead should proceed, but he is just too prideful and self-abusive to see this. I thnk that is the point of this story, in showing how absurd the suicide of the lead is it breaks the pathology of depression and suicide.
