As she notes in her presentation, gods and monsters serve to explain the human condition and to help us make sense of our lives. She's a chronically lonely person who was able to push away her imaginary friend as a child and marry, but the dissolution of her marriage and her compounding loneliness leads her to give in to that fantasy once more and conjure a fantastical tale of romance and fate. It's all in her imagination, as you say.I find three possibilities equally plausible. I saw it last night, I loved it, I've been thinking about it since I left the theater. So, for me, you can't read it as anything but three simultaneous possibilities. What determines whether he'll put me on a strict training regiment to build muscles and ability, rather than just using magic to give me preternatural sense and ability to beat my opponents through magical means? If Zefir wasn't already a genius, but still made a wish for 'all the knowledge', would the djinn had to have magically made her smarter before giving her the books? If I wished to be a great invincible warrior. A stronger djinn might more fully realized her wish (and possibly rent her mind at the same time).īut it feels odd that for some wishes, it's hingent on the abilities of the wisher, while for others, he'll grant them magical powers to achieve something outside of the realm of human capability. Which sure, can be attributed to the djinn's limited powers. And it's noteworthy that technically she only got the extent of human knowledge at the time, rather than her true wish which was 'everything that is worth knowing'.

But nah, he just brings her all the books. Imagine having your mind rent by all that information being poured in at once. I thought for sure when she wished for 'all the knowledge of everything that is valuable', that was the moment her story would go awry. And she also basically learns sex magic just by sleeping with the djinn, no wish required.īut then some wishes basically just afforded them the means to do something they already had the talent for? She got the ability to do magic meditation for her second wish. Like Zefir instantly and magically forgot about the djinn the second she wished it.
