Shultz asks about pedophilia--I don't think so--and about Sev's double dose of wounds, which I think will be answered by several, so I won't get into it, and also this: > Here's another question: > What does Sev wake in the cave of the Man-Apes? Is it related to the > mentioning of a beast whoose mouth is a cave entrance so that those who > enter are dead in its belly without knowing it? Is it Arioch or Scylla > (was > Scylla the one in the cave or the one in the whirlpool)? We never get an answer to this, and it is *most* annoying. The sound is scary and portentous. He asks Jonas about it when he tells him of the adventure, and Jonas tells him that the monsters are water-bound but that they have "servants." And then later Sev comes out with one of those sententious statements--"I know now what the Claw had awakened" (I paraphrase, being too lazy to look it up)--and that's that, unless I've missed something. It breaks Chekhov's rule (If you brandish a gun in the first act and have not discharged it by the third, the audience will never forgive you). Grrrr. -alga- ---
