GRGR(4) 67.34 Your One And Only

[s~Z]

'Not "archetypical" westwardman, but THE ONLY.'

What's with this? Why emphasize that Crotchfield [If we do not exclude
it, in the middle of Crouch and Crutch we find the synthesis = Crotch.
Look down at your middle. You'll see it there between your legs.] is NOT
archetypical? I guess this goes back to the debates about Christ's true
nature. Is he divine, or human, or some admixture. Was he really an
historical figure, or is he symbolic of some archetypal reality, what
Jung would call the Self? So this Crotchfield, he's no archetype, no
ideal or invisible template from which spring the manifold throng of
westwardmen. No. He is 'the' westwardman. The only westwardman. This
actually suggests that we are not in the collective unconscious. We are
in the hinterland of one man's unconscious. Slothrop's. This is his
westwardman and no one else's. Little wonder that little Slothrop
playing Aaron to Kenosha Kid's Moses had to correct the omission of
article 'the.' KK was speaking from a context of universality. Slothrop
lives in a whirl all his own.
