CoL49 - Ch6 Part 1

[J K Van Nort]

Two quick thoughts about Oedipa. First, why does she describe Metzger's new flame as "depraved" instead of him? Does she fall into the blame the woman trap? 

Second, when she says she is being "stripped" and on the edge of an abyss, with all her male figures leaving one-by-one, a page later, we get the description of the Scurvhamites slowly having the "glamorous prospect of annihilation" coaxing them over. Is there any connection between these two images? Has Oedipa become too obsessed to be objective?

In solidarity,
James
