MacDonald challenges the reader‘s imaginative capabilities and his metaphorical associations. I never thought that I would one day empathize with Lilith, whom many of us know about already. However, MacDonald softens the heart, and does some magic that eventually pulls the reader into a sense of pity for all characters, including her. The ending is quite sad, but hopeful, as are many things in life.
