The story, Jack & Ennis also obsessed Diana Ossana who pursued its inception for nearly 10 years. It's like Jack & Ennis existed in the Collective Unconscious and demanded to have their story told. If this is how they were created, it's no wonder they feel so real to us and live in us and with us.

I agree. It's my opinion that Jack and Ennis are manifestations of an ancient archetype which focuses on the duality and complementaryness of not only people and nature but forces that balance and harmonize our reality. Jack and Ennis were drawn together by destiny, as each of us is drawn to our complementary being.

Some of us feel the pain and grief experienced by Jack & Ennis. We're one-step removed from the grief but I think it also creates a "grander passion."
