Ig #2

Is it just me or is anyone starting to notice similarities between Ignatius and Oedipus? Ignatius is so protective of his mother. He wants her all to his self. He flattened Mancuso's tires because he considers him a threat to take Ms. Reilly away. I mean there is nothing sexual about the relationship...yet. But i would not count anything out seein as he said Miss Trixie was cute.
What is this valve Ignatius keeps referring to?

I agree, but The Confederacy of the Dunces is also similar to Oedipus because they both are puzzles. All the people in the story fit together to build the plot. As you read the story and the play, one starts to see the connections between the characters.
