Are not delusions of grandeur both self-evident and, to be blunt, rather
the
inside-joke in Shakespearen and Nabokovian narratives? What else could so
boldly inform their fictional heroes than this suffering from shabbily
composed interior architectures? It is only through the strength of their
convictions, whether in their doubtful contemplations or outright actions,
that we are carried along with them. The rhetorical "are they suffering"
is better phrased "are we suffering" along with our own delusions, now
given form and texture, maybe only a shade or two off the mark?
