Part Four

Angelica Pabst. While she was more outside of the main character pool yet a HUGE part of Perss's development, I have a few things to say about her.

In all honesty, she wasn't after anything, she already had it. She played a cruel joke on a Naive Perss (Yes I realize it was his own fault for running around trying to find her anyways.) He gets into debt, finds 'Angelica' and proceeds to ravish her... only to find out it's Lilly.

This man's virginity is everything to him, poor fella... but if this didn't happen, how would he ever learn what love was.

Lilly seems to be as equally educated as Angelica herself, smart, not to mention her twin. And the fact that Perss can't tell the difference between the two means he's not in love with Angelica. Let's face it, who knew he was going to go after Summerbee after we read her intro sub chapter? I certainly did, her morals and thinking seem to match his own. And I suppose that's another thing his Quest taught him. Look for similarities, something obtainable, not something elusive.

Though, I will say this, Angelica and Lilly both must share some sort of sadistic personality disorder to let Perss continue his travels or even play such a mean joke on him in the first place... And where the F*$% was Angelica s engagement ring during the Rummidge Convention? Was Perss to stunned by her beauty to see it or did she meet her Fiancee after the fact? I must have missed that or something, I can't remember. Anyways, playing with his heart like that was not very nice but none the less necessary. He handled the situation much better then I would have.

Oh, And David Lodge for the win on having Angelica engaged to the Guy who was supposed to get PErss's job. I actually laughed out loud at the Irony.

Oh and, the ending makes you want to find out if Perss continues on yet another world traveling Quest to find Glynda. I sure hope he doesn't have to go through the trouble... poor fella.
