What's the difference between a Putz and a Schmuck?
A Schmuck gets out of the shower to take a pee.
On what point does Cleanth's Mother, a Meshugeh (sometimes pronounced
"meshugeneh") take issue with Aquinas and the Roman Church? Natural Law?
Measure for Measure? This seems to be the key to this allusive parable.
Unlike Joyce's protagonist, who takes up Aquinas and Shakespeare to give
weight to his aesthetic theories, Pynchon's protagonist takes up the
Law, Ethics, Mercy, Punishment, Natural Law. Of course this is the theme
of the novel V. and it is the driving force of Pynchon's two
masterworks, GR and M&D.
How is Pynchon related to the Law?
How isn't he related to the Law?
