VLVL2(3): Hector's fall

[Dave Monroe]

Well, my point was, that's the way Hector constucts
himself, no doubt, but also that we're getting a
relatively (this is pynchon, of course ...) reliable,
'authoritative" confirmation of that.  Hector wouldn't
necessarily see it as self-construction, as
"mythologization", but rather perhaps How He Is, but
what's interesting is the (here, clasically and/or
Christinically [?!] Tragic) terms in which he does it.
 At any rate, there's still a fine distinction there
of some significance, the reporatge of Hector's pov
vs., I don't know, not just the authorial, but the
critically knowing reportage thereof, the
foregrounding of said construction, but I think we're
all fairly in agreement here ...
