I'm confused about many things in Mondaugen's Story, the most glaring are
the memories of Von Trotha's extermination of the natives. My question
is are these Foppl's reflections who was there 18 years before, Von
Trotha (another manifestation of V, in male form--is V always female?)
himself, or Mondaugen.
Or could it be that Vheissu has become reality, no longer a dream.? Are
the above reflections re-enacted (see conversation b/w Vera and
Godolphin, Sr. pg. 247-248) at Foppl's castle or we just talking memory
here (or both?). I know those darn 'shperics have somethun to do with it
(connected of course to Weissman, SHROUD and SHOCK and M. Sphere's
flip-flop musings and his quest to understand electricity-ahhhh!!!!)
