Dear Jansy,
Did I say that? I think I said, and certainly meant to say, that Shade, like Hodge, is definitely NOT SHOT and that he does live on, fly on as Kinbote. The question of "alternatives" could be a confusion for the word alternates (or alters) meaning alternate personalities - - is this what you meant?
