>Applying politics to literature
Unless the book itself is a political treatise of some sort, it makes no sense to apply politics to it.

Conviction

People don't understand time. It's not a linear progression, it's a infinite collection of fields overlapping with one another.

I think free will exists but I'm not sure.

Now instead of approaching this some a perspective of truth, think about it from a point of practicality:
>Who is going to get further in life, somebody who thinks they have no control over their life OR somebody who believes his choice in actions shape what is to come?

Once you look at the question from that point of view it's a no brainer.
>Unless you're sick in the head
