I just finished reading your thoughts. I have to say, I\'m really impressed at the consideration you put into your post. So much of these shows skips by, leaving me with only the flavour of the peak moments, but it\'s great when someone captures the entity as a whole and speaks so well in regard to it.

I also wanted to point out that at the end of the tale, he did in fact murder Professor Galinari. But note the fact that he not only went the same route as his father, he actually performed the same brutal act as his father, by hacking his mother up with an axe! Even more ironic, depsite it being a wax representation of his mother.

Lastly, I was curious to the quoting of Gilbert Chesterton. Any reason for choosing that bit of ministerial poetry?

Again, thanks for a terrific pick!
