V-2nd Dopplegangers

[David Payne]

I realized today that at some point I had confused Yusef (chapter 3 section ii) with Da Conho (chapter 1 section iii), both imagining killing the guests they are serving. 

Then I recalled Fergus Mixolydian (chapter 5 section ii) and Bongo-Shaftsbury (chapter 3 section v), both with switches in their arms.

Are there other sets of characters/scenes across the historic and present chapters in V.?

Why? Is it just to compare the schlemiels to the villains, the comedic and the horrific, a chance to say "see what happens when you let yourselves become objects"?

I guess for some dumb reason that I'm thinking more of specific scenes than say broad generalization like Profane and Stencil as counterpoints.
