If you follow a typical Christian point of view, Sylvia is evil. If you see it from a Gnostic Christian point of view, Syvlia is Sophia (the wisdom that comes from beyond the fake director-god of the world). Christian Gnostics believe the snake was good and the god of the OT evil, hence all roles are reversed (except the one of Jesus as savior). Hence so would the points of this article be based on what kind of Christian view one has of it.
But Gnostics would argue that, like in the Matrix, facing reality as ugly as it may be, wether it is filled with papparazis or rusty metal walls and s***-soup, it's better than being the puppet-master's puppet.
