I thought it was a cautionary tale about parents who overreact to their children's relationships without realizing that if they just let them be they'll break up on their own.
I thought it was about the political intricacies of two gnome families that didn't like each other
I’ve heard of two KDE families that didn’t like each other….
It's also a story about how feuds are largely arbitrary, and holding grudges against entire families/bloodlines is just tragically pointless eye-for-an-eye behavior that eventually leads to your children being so blind that they commit suicide for basically no reason.
It's a bunch of themes in a trench coat!
It could also be interpreted as a George Bluth-esque extreme "always leave a note" lesson.
If you're going to fake your suicide to get your crazy family off your back so you can be with your lover, always leave your lover a note explaining what you're doing or you'll both end up dead.
