          "text": "Griffjon's fears that Dorcas's soul might have been drawn down into\nan annonymous body (ala Jonas-riding-Miles) might be assuaged by:\n\n1) the locket Ouen has (i.e., Ouen's mom looks exactly like the\nDorcas body--which starts the ball rolling at the Inn of Lost Loves);\n\n2) the fact that Severian looks so much like Ouen (i.e., Severian\nreally is or seems to be the biological offspring of Ouen).\n\n(Note that these family resemblences only go one generation.  That\nis, I don't think Severian ever comes close to saying that his face\n[dark eyes, dark hair] looks like Dorcas's face [blue eyes, blonde\nhair]; whereas he does come close to saying that his face looks like\nCatherine's [dark eyes, dark hair], and others say outloud that he looks\nlike Ouen [blue eyes, blond hair].  So just because Agia has slanted\nbrown eyes and brown hair, this doesn't mean that she isn't Dorcas's\ngranddaughter, by way of the hypothetical second child of Dorcas and\nperhaps a xanthoderm named [Agi*].)\n\n(Oh, and re: Cyriaca.  She is the cheating wife of a powerful landed\narmiger in the Thrax area.  Racho in Nessus, one of the only other\narmigers we see, would seem to be in the wrong geographical location\nand too far down the social totem pole to be her husband.  It could be\npossible, of course, but if the husband has been vacant from Thrax\nfor so long then it wouldn't seem to be so pressing to have his wife\nexecuted . . . in fact, it might be a bit upsetting for the husband .\n. . unless it is all a part of a bigger plan that the husband is in\non: \"Right, I'll go to Nessus, whore around for a few months or\nyears, oggle the dirty pictures at the Old Citadel.  My wife will\nthen go about her wanton ways, and when it gets too much,  Abdiesus\nold buddy, you just go ahead and have her kilt.  That way my hands\nare clean of it and I don't have to answer to the inlaws.\")\n\n=mantis="
