Opposite, or mirror image?President Camacho wrote:There is the noble but less witty Aziraphale and the less noble but humorous Crowley.

I enjoyed both of these characters. The friendship between the two propelled the book forward. Both angel and demon were able to display playfulness, and deception, both experienced horror and joy. To me, they were interchangable. Maybe I'm too grounded in human drama, but, you can't have good without bad. Joy cannot be appreciated without an understanding of sorrow. Ying, and Yang, both are required to make a human, angel, or demon whole.
"They possibly may not be able to exist if not for their counterpart". Amen!
