Less of a question: It's really annoying how the narrator is constantly going haywire. Simple questions like "Did Jessica ever meet Shannon/Kanon" that would normally have an obvious answer aren't granted one due to the fickle narration. It's quite cruel of ryukishi.
If you're looking for an in-depth analysis then I would definitely recommend checking out the Stupid Goats readthrough. It's kind of really really long (and ongoing), but the heart of Umineko was never meant to be something you could summarise in a few paragraphs.

This interview is also very much worth reading if you haven't seen it already.
