Was the mytharc planned or did it just evolve haphazardly? It's not internally consistent, but I had always thought that was a problem with the writing rather than a philosophical position...

I'm sure the majority of the internal inconsistencies are flaws in the writing, but that doesn't change the impression of the story as a series of unsolvable problems that are all somehow joined together into one giant, unsolvable, unstoppable, and - to an extent - unknowable...thing.

My comment was not about the nature of the story or the characters, but about how I (and perhaps others) sometimes view the story - the impression the story gives.
