** On the mundane side, the Finches are somewhat prone to melodrama and risk-seeking, and their belief in the curse explicitly affects their decision-making; see Odin putting his house on a barge and sailing it across the Atlantic ''and'' up the Pacific in a desperate hope that this would shake the curse. It's also easy to read most of the deaths being caused by poor decisions and dramatic gestures made in the hopes of escaping a curse that never existed ([[spoiler: i.e. Walter hiding underground in fear of the curse until he died in his desperation to see the sun again, Sam becoming a survivalist hoping to overcome the curse and being killed on a hunting trip]]), instead of merely living their lives out as best they could.
