I found the article a fascinating study in parallelism, even though some of the
points seemed rather forced. Many of them I missed entirely, although I managed
to sense some of them the second time I saw it. I don't feel that the story was
beholden to the parallelism; it did quite well on its own. The added interpre-
tations provide an interesting sideline of speculation without the story being
dependant upon them for it to work.
