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!!!!)
