Exerting my will to finish this one!

If this was a love story about a progressive licentious woman who challenges the conventional repressed morals of the man engaged to a naive virgin, it would not be worth my time. At the surface level, without reading for detail or symbolism or understanding that this story is meant to be about Old New York and New New York (thus “NewLand Archer”), you could pass it off as thus. I read it wrong the 1st time.
