Re: Suicide in Pale Fire
From

Alexandra brought back the entire tripartite issue, Kunin theories, Jekyll&Hyde correlates.She adds her own hypothesis that the poem is "a kind of suicide note."
I can only suggest that she begins by reading Matt Roth and Tiffany De Rewsall's paper NOJ / ???: Nabokov Online Journal, Vol. III / 2009 - Tiffany DeRewal, Matthew Roth JOHN SHADE'S DUPLICATE SELVES:AN ALTERNATIVE SHADEAN THEORY OF PALE FIRE and Brian Boyd's "PF, The Magic of Artistic Discovery"
She can also search for specific themes using the google-search for the Nab-L archives.

Assunto: [NABOKV-L] Suicide in Pale Fire
Hello,
I'm interested in exploring the theory that Pale Fire, the poem, is a kind of suicide note and that
Shade, Grey and Kinbote are one in the same. I see John Shade as the main personality and that he
created the other two: Grey to 'kill' him and Kinbote to finish his work.
Does anyone know whether there has been any similar theories published or have any thoughts
themselves?
Thank you,
Alexandra
