IVIV (13) scene one question

[David Morris]

Both you and John have good points about Bigfoot.  Doc is generally a
live and let live kinda guy, even regarding Bigfoot.  And we can
accept this as OK for most of the book because we don't see Bigfoot
being really bad until the end.  But then, even after Doc has done so
much for him, Bigfoot sets up Doc to be busted or worse with that big
stash.  That's when we really see Bigfoot's evil nature.

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
