The connection with the Orpheus myth and the story of Orfe seemed forced and made for an awkwardly told story. A much better interpretation is the Brazilian film Black Orpheus which has a much richer characterization. In the film I actually cared what happened to Orfeo but Orfe and Yuri are such poorly constructed, enigmatic characters that when they meet with their fated tragedies, I didn't care. I was just relieved that the book was over.
