Oliver Stone (was:Pauper and Sweatshop Fallacies)

One of my returning perspectives on the revenge drama parody within The Crying of Lot 49, is
that it is a metaphor for the violent revenges that is History. Pynchon,  in a very different time, says such revenge is not worth acting out anymore--no real ambiguity (except in the supposed "text" of the play...the reality ( of the reasons for revenge, lost in history)--in the play within Lot 49 and what happens to the Director.
