Hmm. See, I’m with KFC. I see a lot of similarities in the couples *now* but not originally. I thought Ana left for selfish reasons as well. But tonight proved that maybe two people can find their way back through heartache and love each other again. I do see the parallels with the rest of your points though. But mostly it’s theme of forgiveness and still loving that person (did you see Will’s face when Ana said, “I know you’ll never love me again”–he never stopped. The feelings were just boxed up for a bit)
I agree that there was a lot personal gain in leaving Will for Ana- but she wanted to go back to Will so there had to be some truth in the line “I’m tring to do what’s best for both of us” (Paraphrasing) Which is why I thought it paralleled Swanfire
