NPPF -- Why care about Kinbote?

[Terrance]

Keep cool but Care. 
About Kinbote? 
About Zoyd? 

In the passages Paul N. posted N is not talking about care as I
understood FQ Morris' use of the word. Of course, as I said, this is old
stuff, Lit-crit 101. Basic stuff. And care (substitute "interest" if it
sounds more brainy or "sympathy" if it contends your traditional heart,
sympathy being the term that lit-crit has used for thousands of years). 

Care or whatever does go to the connection between these two novels (PF
and VL). Moreover, it goes to one of our other  concern,  POV. 

So, I see no reason to squabble over a word and neglect what may prove
to be an interesting thread. 





How Authors create Care via control of a cool inside view

Why does an author care if we care? Yes, I said, Care. And I said,  We.
And what I mean to say is We instead of I, because I care to keep an
impersonal tone and because I wish to refer to people in general,
including myself. And, because because because because because, because
it is the wonderful word that FQ Morris has given to us. It may not be
as brainy as "interest" or as hearty as "sympathy" but there is
something courageous about "care." Moreover, as every cool cat knows,  
keeping one's cool while caring is takes style. Now, a dog may have his
day, but a wagging tail, a loyal and lovable tongue lapping,  a
chocolate crumb covered mug smugly stuffed with blue jay feathers, ain't
nothin compared with keepin it cool and carin. 

How does the author (N &  P)  create and maintain care for the
narrator/character (Zoyd/Kinbote) despite all the crippling faults of
their respective narrators and characters? POV? 

A cool Inside View.
