1) You are totally right. Im not trying to say that they were clear and fulfilled their end from the very beginning this deal was struck. Just that Athenas words from the beginning of GoW1 are exactly what she gives Kratos at the end.
2) Totally, erasing his memories was just a selfish at, and the easy way out.
3) I think the suicide scene is definitely a good one. Now just the breaking point for him as you say. Its about man vs god. determinism vs fatalism.
4) Yeah I dont want to suppose its that deep. But I think it ties in nicely into not having to rely on a greater power. And kratos embodies that for humanity (thematically )
Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the discussion. Always good to chat about a series like GoW where ppl just assume it has nothing going for it in terms of narrative themes or characterisation.

I think a lot of people assume the series is shallow because they never played the games or never paid attention to the plot. Even the general brutality is reasonable in the context of the Greek mythology, the Gods themselves were completely barbaric.
I really see it as a man vs Gods situation. And the GOW4 trailers seem to indicate that even Gods from other mythologies can't give the guy a break.

I'm sure that's true because most people disliking the series make one dimensional comments about it with no context.
