Actually, ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]]'' goes much deeper than the power of love. Repeatedly, readers are told: [[Arc Words|"Without love, it cannot be seen"]]. What exactly cannot be seen without love? In ''End of the golden witch'', Battler has an epiphany: in a mystery novel, there has to be a trusting relationship between reader and writer; it is exactly the same as being in love. Without a guarantee that the mystery is solvable, the reader won't be interested, and without readers, the writer will not write.

"Without love, the truth cannot be seen." But Erika expounds on that. Because of love, we also see things that shouldn't exist. I quote from [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)/WMG|Umineko's WMG page]]:

Just as love can bring great things, it is also the cause of tragedies. There are things that humans can see because of love, but love also hides things from their eyes.
