Meaning Deferral, Jungian Symbolism, and the Quest for V. in Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49

[Mark Kohut]

I am convinced the writer has found a real exact source and interpreted its use nicely. Pierces, projection, daemon all seem they could enter P's mind and come out meaningfully sea-changed. 

Hate to bring up Shakespeare AGAIN and all that THAT entails, but the loving scholars are showing how bits of words and notions in Plutarch, Ovid, Montaigne---not just the obvious uses of Ovid's myths and Plutarch's Lives---might have found their way into the text as they lodged like shapes of flowers and a ( possibly seen) mechanical dolphin in Shakespeare's mind. 

My best way of understanding is when one sees a child pick up and use a certain phrase, word or notion naturally albeit often in an oblique way.
