Very sorry for my very weak english.

 

(I had put  my name in title of post because I think it is convenient)

 

I had some hipotesis about "Pale Fire" which were, as I know, not

mentioned (but maybe does, it does not matter). For example and first: "Pale
fire" is

about life after death, about world beyond and some things like that.  (See
for

example this tunel like in "near death experiences" or poltergeist

or Sherlock Holmes - all this you find probably in any popular book

about spiritualism). So - Zembla is this afterworld and Kinbote is a God.

(God-Kinbote is also a Nabokov OLD SCUFFER). Sayin more about it, Kinbote is

a God-Joker (but I cant explain why I think so)

 

Kinbote  - God Joker

Shade - God Creator

Gradus - Destructor (blockhead)

 

Goldsworth  - God as a Judge conception

Balthazar - God Nature

 

Shade can be treated also as a God creator, God Poet - I find this

word "shade" "nuance" nice, like a rainbow, like a deepnes

where "gray" is bad and gray. But I think Kinbote is supreme

and I think God-Joker beats  even a God-Creator and Poet

(he is more cleaver). You know maybe are more afrerworlds:

 

A B C ... Z

(places where consciousnes go after death)

 

some Shade-like afterworlds ("no free man needs a god") some

like Kinbote-like afterworld (with God)

 

 

 

Maybe I say yet a little about Gradus, Gradation.

And things I was thinking about where I read "Pale Fire"

You know what consciousnes is? Consciousness is all what you see, this

transparent ball you were in. So for example human has a more consciousness

than a mouse - so you can see some gradation in this things. In some East

religion thay say that Your conscousness can Jump to for example frog

consciousness  (1)-> (1/2)  it is strange a little. But your consciousness
can go also

to some higher state (1) -> (2) So I think this case about Gradus (possibly
Nabokov

thinking about this things, and for sure my own thinking about this today)
is this that

this Gradation never reach a Zero 1/2 -> 1/3 -> 1/10 ... but never zero

And if even Zero, You can Wake Up still to some higher amount of
consciousnes

(maybe even more glorious than our glorious one) Zero is only one number

but there ale also other 1/2, 7 etc. . And possibly gradation is gradation

to Higher 1->2->3 etc.
