V.V.(1) Benny Oedipus

[David Morris]

The right hand is the hand of blessing.  It is the clean hand, the one eaten 
from (as opposed to the left, the one used to wipe the anus).  The right is 
the hand extended in good will.  This phrase, 'the son of my right hand,' 
does not carry the meaning of the Father's control, its primary message is 
blessing, from the elect father to the elect son.

>If 'Benny' is a diminuitive of 'Benjamin,' this points to Jacob's youngest 
>son who was born as his mother Rachel died.* Before her death, she named 
>him 'Benoni,' which means 'the son of my sorrow,' but Jacob renamed him 
>'Benjamin' which means 'the son of my right hand.' Pynchon renames him 
>'Benny' which means 'son of my yo-yo hand.'
