Twins:

So, as already stated, the Elf and the Judge have both spawned twins.

In Reads, we are presented with two (twin) Vi(c)(k)tors; Victor Reid and Viktor Davis. Respctively, they exist in fictional Iest, and the fictional 20th century.

Victor Reid is in harmony with the Consensus based worldview: Get married, have children. If everyone agrees, everyone will be happy. This eventually becomes a point of view involving prudery over freedom - everyone wants to be happy, so everyone must agree. Control and power through the unspoken (implied) social mandate of conformity.

Viktor Davis takes Exception to the Consensus worldview. He believes in individuality and freedom. (I find this view makes an interesting parallel with Oscar Wilde's perception of Jesus, expressed in "De Profundis", and also marries well (heh) with the annotation to page 212 of Going Home).

The narratives revolving around the twin Vi(c)(k)tors also show that if you create something popular that isn't true to yourself, you may be imprisoned by it, but if you create something true to yourself, you may be not-so-popular but free.

Pages 71 and 77 of Reads are interesting...

During the narrative, "the reader" is also twinned, one understands and is listening to Viktor Davis, one is confused (pages 205, 206).

I think the key words are Exception and Consensus, and these are the states (for both groups and individuals) that Dave represents through the motif of twins.

Reads, pages 244 - 246.
