What follows is what I experienced as I read through episode 4 of Umineko.  While I still plan to make a review about the entire Umineko series combined at a later date, I felt that episode 4 deserved some special attention as it is my favorite up to this point.  So with that said here we go once again on the crazy ride that is my thinking process.  For a little extra assistance in this here is a link to my points of interest article if you want to see how I came up with some of my conclusions: Umineko Points of Interest

Umineko Points Of Interest

MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ AT LEAST EPISODES 1-4 OF UMINEKO!!!  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

What follows is essentially just a list of what was going through my mind as I read through the first 4 episodes of Umineko.  As you will notice, my points of interest start out as just simple observations and then over time progress into full blown theories as I try to understand the novel more and more.  I personally found coming up with these theories on my own to be the most enjoyable part of the novel up to this point so here they are for anyone that might be interested.   Also, if you are interested in an actual review of episode 4 instead of a list of ideas here is my article where I put my thoughts and feelings together up to that point: Umineko Episode 4 Personal Review
