Truthfully, I have to wonder what 18th-century reader would need all these prophecies and foretellings to be able to see right from the start where things are headed. There's this air of melodrama and rising tragedy with characters who are more concepts and archetypes than three-dimensional people.

But, you know what, I can still feel it and roll with the premise.

So it's a solid enough of a start.
