I'm right near the end of Part IV, and I just wanted to say

THANK YOU

This is one of the most awesome deconstructions I've ever read, ever. I love how it hits heavy, and I love how it creeps up on you with the entire point. There's a lull in the middle there that throws you off, and the sudden wake-up call is played to great effect.

Deconstructions are motherflippin' delicious, and notoriously hard to pull off -- they take a lot of patience, work and understanding of the source material. They take a keen eye, attention to detail and guts.

People say that the greatest admiration you can give to an author is to copy them... but that just doesn't hold up - not when there's something even better you can do... Not when you can take someone's work, take it apart to the bare metal and shine a light on everything it claims to stand for. And then see if it holds up.
