Prediction

Before I finish the book, I would like to guess how it will end. At the point I am at right now, D-503 has to decided whether he wants to be with the one he loves, or be "happy." They are performing operations on them to get rid of every one's imagination. The government has decided that without this "sickness" everyone will be happy. I-330, though, is still rebelling. She doesn't want to be cured. More than that, she doesn't want D-503 to get the operation done either. Does she really love him or is she simply using him? I think she is just using him because it is obvious that she picked him for the reason that he has access to the Integral. It's possible that she fell in love with him during the process of changing him, but it is unlikely. The only thing I-330 loves is freedom. Maybe if D-503 follows through with the plan she eventually could love him, but for the moment she just wants to live. If the story follows its pattern, D-503 will follow through with the plan because he always does what she wants. But books like to surprise us, so I think he will get the operation after he helps I-330 escape.

D-503 did end up getting the operation but he did not help I-330 escape. In fact, he actually led her to her death. Once he gets his operation he can't even believe that he once had such crazy thoughts. It took great power to get him to realize that she only used him. That's the way love is; your heart thinks more than your head. Logically, you understand that something isn't right, but your heart overrides these thoughts and prevents you from seeing it. The only character who has a truly happy ending is O-90 because she escapes and gets live with her child and the rest of the unnumbered people.
