Significance of [I]Misery's Return[/I]

[The Outsider]

Greetings fellow Misery readers. So, I'm not sure if it's been discussed, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any idea as to the point of including parts of Paul's novel in the book.

Did anyone see symbols/parallels in Misery's Return to the main story?

And also, this is just a statement, but when Paul reminesces about the exotic bird at the zoo, did anyone else think of that poem, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings"? Just curious.

I skipped the second section of his book, well skimmed it, because it looked too annoying to decipher. As for what I did read, sometime in the story Paul mentioned how this was the most gruesome Misery book he had written. That was sometime after the part when Misery was found to be buried alive. What was happening to him in reality was affecting his work. That may be something.

The biggest thing is probably the goddess connection. There is some goddess in Miseyer's Return and Paul views Annie as that goddess.

Other than that, nothing I can think of.
