Subject: #1 - but still missing third motivator
In reply to: 3Strikes/ADDED ANSWERS 's message, "SUNDAY EDITION-PLEASE POST HERE TODAY" on 08:03:25 09/22/02 Sun

So the motivators are love, guilt/grief and A.N.Other. The deceivers are *faulty* clarity. And the other would be hubris, lack of self knowledge?
Since I'm missing the last, this is an incomplete picture, but from what I can glean, Anya will die/leave. Xander cant deal with this, blames himself etc etc. Now the problem I get to is how he has a vision, and what it is of. How does one acquire the sight? Or is it just borrowed.
Either way he has a vision, sees something terrible happen to Buffy? (I think), and in his mind the only way this can be averted is if he becomes a vampire (although Im not sure why, but it must be linked to his human status or maybe vamps other status). he thinks there is no other way, hence faulty clarity. The other deceiver would be his belief that his love could transcend his vamped state, or woul compel him to act in the right way. Kinda like the inverse Grave where he thinks his love can bring Willow back, or the Faith example. But in this case its the deceiver because it cant - VampXander wont act in the way he predicted, and it was never the only choice he could have made.
Close?
