CofL49, still Chap 3

[Mark Kohut]

"If one object behind her discovery of what she was to label the Tristero System
 or often only the Tristero ( as if it might be something's secret title) were to bring 
to an end her encapsulation in her tower, then that night's infidelity with Metzger would
logically be the starting point for it; logically. That's what would come to haunt her most, 
perhaps: the way it fitted, logically, together. As if ( as she'd guessed that first minute in San Narcisco)
there were revelation in progress all around her."


Why is her infidelity with Metzger the LOGICAL starting point? One is a faithful wife in the tower? 
Since Mucho wasn't right (for her), then Metzger was the logical start of searching for love? Or 
sex outside of marriage is a freer "love", a liberation for her, a woman?

Notice how many guys want her in the book..but get nowhere.

Or, an act of adultery is the start of a shadow value system? The start of finding the Tristero? 
Is this 'shadow act' ---Ralph Ellison's book of non-fiction was called Shadow & Act
