Pynchon's Badass

Frankenstein's Monster and King Kong were looking for love, were 
misunderstood, and fought against Enlightenment or imperial forces, 
respectively.

In the moral scheme that Pynchon lays out in V. and GR, for 
Blicero/Weissmann to be in love with death is not a good thing, it is 
a twisted, anti-life tendency, a textbook case of the definition of 
"sin" = "missing the mark."

Victims "choosing victimization" -- that's the wishful thinking of 
the abuser and the victimizer, pure and simple.
