You are spot on with it. It's "cruel in a playful way" you could say. Sort of like the antagonist is also the hero in the end.

Oh good. Sometimes I wonder how much of what I get out of things is from the author and how much comes from my particular mood. Of course, that's what I love about poetry. It's a little "post-modern" in that way.
