Who is the real Margo Roth Spiegelman?



"Margo Roth Spiegelman, whose six-syllable name was often spoken in its entirety with a kind of quiet reverence. Margo Roth Spiegelman, whose stories of epic adventures would blow through school like a summer storm"

Margo Roth Spiegelman is a mystery to everyone who knows her. Her parents and friends have only skimmed the surface of Margo's identity, while Q comes to know her a better than anyone else on their one-night adventure consisting of revenge, pranking and breaking into Sea World. 
Everything seems perfect to Quentin, until Margo disappears the next day without so much as a goodbye.

To me, Margo is misunderstood. At first in the book, she appears selfish and she tries to string Q along with her to do her biding. But the truth is, a lot of people were unintentionally idealizing her, including Q. She is a mess of contradictions and thus, impossible to truly understand. She teaches us about human connection and the barriers in understanding each other
