Question: How does this book view love and control, and how are they related?

Haha! The “bird thing” as an “entrepreneur / crypto scam”! I like!
Though the other way of looking at this, perhaps, is the Quimet in his own way is simply trying to build a better life for himself, in a situation in which he doesn’t have too many prospects or opportunities. This, for what it’s worth, makes him rather different (and perhaps more forgivable?) from the upper-class Ricardo in The Shrouded Woman, who has less excuse for abandoning Ana María, no? To put this another way: isn’t Quimet also trapped in his way? And with his birds, but also the motorbike, isn’t he (just?) looking for a way out?

Oh, and I like the Kung Fu Panda quotation, too! (Which also, for what it’s worth, applies to Oedipus…)
