Question: At the beginning of Lover's Vow, Preston's art is not selling. Why is it that after Carola helps him, his art suddenly becomes a success? Is she controlling the people in charge of the art business?
Question: Why does the gargoyle in A Lover's Vow stick around Preston disguised as the lovely Rae Dawn Chong?
Answer: The gargoyle had been watching Preston through his window for a long while and, falling in love with him, assumed a human form so she could be with him.
Answer: She most likely wanted to keep an eye on him, to make sure he would never break the vow.
Question: Why does the gargoyle have to kill Preston after he broke his vow? She loves him and even if he did go around telling people about her, nobody would obviously believe him.
Answer: While it's not explicitly said in the film, it seems Preston breaking his vow turned her back into a gargoyle. She didn't have a choice and since he swore on his life never to say anything, she had to kill him. Plus, the stories in the book don't have happy endings.
Answer: Carola isn't controlling people but is able to make better connections, promoting Preston's work and getting it seen by prospective buyers. She's acting as an effective PR agent.
