To those who’ve read the book. I found at the end of each of the five parts, they wrapped everything up nicely. I especially like the end of part two, when the count was about to jump from the metropol and was stopped by the handyman, who told him the bees had returned. It was a nice callback to the black apple story he told Anna earlier, with the bee’s having traveled to his home town and brought back the honey that tasted of apples. And then the next part he started his life a new as a waiter and with a new outlook on life.
In regard to the ending, they really tied everything together, all the little things the count did to set up his escape became clear at the end. But they leave you wondering, what ever happened to Anna and the count. I would’ve liked to of heard the conversation they had at the bar in his old home town. It seemed to have been another call back to the black Apple story, where even at this late stage of his life, he was starting fresh again.
In my mind, the count and Anna moved to America and lived happy ever after with Sophia. Any other thoughts on what might’ve become of them after the end? It was somewhat similar to Nina, you never got any resolution as to what exactly happened, you’re just left to wonder. #entertainment source
