Ignorance and lack of self understanding in short sun, denial in\nPeace, suppression in Suzanne Delage.  What purpose does that small lack of\nrealism serve at the start?\n\nThe external picture we get of Severian in \"the map\" shows a badly beaten\nEata half blinded by his blood thinking \"Severian had beaten him more than\nonce ... Worse than Laetus and Syntyche last night ... Now Severian was the\nautarch, Severian was the law, and murderers died under the law's hand\"\n\nCruelty and excessive order. Thus if Severian is unreliable, it is most\nprobably in asking for the obedience of his subjects - areas that stress\n\"we obey\" and place his ascension as part of a preordained path from the\nstart."
