- ... Kitto is able to make Antigone's opening line sound more dramatic. While Townsend opens his version with the simplistic, modern sentence structure of "My darling sister Ismene, we have had a fine inheritance from Oedipus" (Townsend, 3), Kitto has the heroine say "Ismene, my own sister, dear Ismene, How many miseries our father caused!"

Pynchon gives us two options when presenting metaphors like the Oedipus or Newtonian allusion: either they are patterns for interpreting the meaning of Lot 49, or they are unclear, deceptive invitations for interpretations, purposely made up by the author.10 The character that unites the respective ...
