NP, but a bit of prose poetry...

[Perry Noid]

Moby Dick was at the front of my mind throughout. Instead of man hunting a
whale, and everything that represents, man is hunting man. I'm sure u all
have dissected this one like an injun scalp but since I haven't really
discussed it with anyone I'll say this in passing to get it out. I think
the lack of sex scenes was certainly indicative of something because we
know sex occurs in the book. And I would like to know what anyone thinks of
the idiot, his cage and his chain to the judge and why the judge rescues
him. One of the rare appearances of the fairer sex is when he is liberated
from his cage. And just a random thought: when reading the passage where
the judge is walking around with the idiot on the chain my mind seemed to
conjur Dracula and Renfield. Was wondering what you smarter folk took from
that whole interaction.
