"It occurred to me tonight that Clara dies for a reason that's very Eruditoric: she misunderstands what kind of story she's in.\n\nShe thinks she's in a murder mystery (perhaps an episode of <i>Veronica Mars</i>) where it makes perfect sense to aid and abet a fugitive suspect to buy time to discover that he's innocent, because her \"dad's\" the best around and she's a chip off the old block.\n\nBut although the story is <i>Mars</i>-y in that really what looks like a random crime turns out to have been a frame-up by the corrupt potentate, it turns out she's actually in some sort of Grimm fairy tale in which the heroine's personality flaw ensures her tragic death via the blind savagery and magical rules of the dark forest.\n\nIf you're not a master of the Land of Fiction, you don't get to rewrite the story in the middle of it."
