Under the influence of what or whom?"

Benny is drawn to the world below the street and is could be said to be
under the influence of its connection to the inanimate and the general
"mystique" (sorry, I'm not fond of that word but it just came out).  He
is *obedient* to Fina, but I don't believe he is under her influence. 
Like the exchange jbor began, I sincerely question how connected he is
to the Mendoza family.  He still wants to be a "object of mercy."  I
believe one reason he is unable to figure out the events is because he
doesn't understand the "code" he respects enough to remove his
influence.
