The allusion to The Brothers K implies that we are, as B/T uttle says
in Brazil, all in it together or as Dostoyevsky novel argues, all
responsible for one another.  And, the daisy chain in this chapter,
where Otto, who is more like the father, Fyodor Pavlovich, than a boy
abused by school boys alluded to directly in the quotation, schemes
and lies; his machinations seem to confirm Ivan K's view of man: Man
is an insect.
