VLVL: Frenesi's betrayal

[Paul Mackin]

Interesting article Doug cites. Fren's denunciation or delation of Weed is
hard to analyze. Though Brock has urged her to it she doesn't act out of
any misguided duty to the state, plus though she might think she is
acting out of self interest she immediately ends up in the concentration
camp.  Though she doesn't know it, in a sense she is actually serving her
fellow revolutionaries, since Weed has in fact  been turned by Larry
Elasmo's ministrations and truly is cooperating.  So you could almost say
that F's being disloyal to her comrades only by intention. We always
have to end up with the third party in the equation--besides the state and
her fellow human beings--name herself. This is the place to focus most
attention. She does like those sessions with B in the motel room. This
self loyalty is related somehow to the idea that nobody possesses Frenesi.
Doesn't this have to be accepted as some kind of positive factor. Cutting
across politics and cultures. Just dunno.

Opposing discourses as the delatologists say.
