Bigfoot plays Doc throughout the whole book, where the latter I
believe finally decides not to continue to look over him. One aspect
of this I would love more explanation of is Doc's motivation in having
these contradictory feelings about Bigfoot
He may have some good lines but I still think Bigfoot is a creep for
using Doc to settle some personal scores, at the extreme, putting in
harms way Doc's life, literally, to get at Puck and Adrian who are in
some ways even bigger villains than the mysterious Golden Fang which I
would further argue is why they are dispatched they way they are in by
Pynchon in IV
