Down with more prolegomena! Give me a V. .....

How about the V as symbolic of the pluralism the novel seems to
espouse? Two perspectives (the upper nodes of the V) view a point
distant from both (the lower node), as, for instance, in stellar
parallax, where a point in space is observed from two diametric points
in Earth's orbit. Is V. observed through, for instance, sacred and
profane perspectives? Animate and inanimate? Above and below the
street? Could such a reading shed any light on the identity of V.?
