The End

Wow...so I finished the Alchemist last night and the ending was not at all what I thought it would be. I'm interested to hear your opinions this afternoon at our discussion. Do you think that the "real treasure" was the gold and jewels that the boy dug up, or the lessons he learned on his journey, or was it finding true love with Fatima? Really, what is a treasure?
I think that the story of the Alchemist was really a simple story---yet the themes and messages were profound and beautiful....What do you think???
