If Slothrop is a tragic hero and I think he is, then I'm looking for clues
regarding a transformation and a death/renewal stunt. Much like Jesus
Christ's sacrifice as the embodiment of the Word along with the fruits of
ratiocination -- all the pairs of opposites in the good and bad thieves.
Surely Slothrop's paranoia which is his means of analyzing connectedness
becomes highly altered in GRGR-26 as he takes on more archetypal guises and
has corresponding experiences while his personality disintegrates or flows
away.
It's not so much that the rocket has your name on it since it follows a
Poisson distribution within an area rather than a Gaussian distribution
about some exact aiming point. It knows nothing of you and where it is now
depends completely on where it was before.
