Will and Allie Sitting in a Tree

This may be obvious, but I figured I'd write about it anyway. It seems in most aspects if not all that Will Barrett and Allie compliment each other in a way that fits the context of marriage very well, but in a bizarre way. They even recognize these things and talk about them at the end of the book. They compliment each other in memory; he remembers minute details about the past that he normally would never think of again, she can't remember anything but the present, or not much anyway. He has the past, she the present, both the future. He has a tendency to fall down, she has the ability to hoist. He falls, she hoists. She can't seem to speak in a way that most people understand, but Will does, and he also says that she says more and what she says is said better than most people. The thing is though, that they only complete each other when both are 'mentally unstable.' The medicated Will would not continue to remember the small memories of the past, or fall down, or probably find her language understandable, and therefore is not perfect for her in his most 'healthy' state. But for them the unmedicated, the crazy state, is the healthy state because in that state they are perfect for each other, in that they fully complete each other.
