the psychological side of the don
I find the cryptic undertones of the book interesting. foe example the windmill represent dragons the modernisation of his time such as the huge buildings that tower the skyline of our time and what they represent, the matrerialism of a society.
the high ideals of one matched by the ignorance of the other. He was knowledgeable of many things such as astrology etc where those around him had no knowledge of these things at all. the curator who decided what was useful and what was not when shifting through the Dons books. the romances where not all that bad so the type of knowledge the Don had was beneficial, including the the priests and how the Don saw them all these individuals repersent some psychological aspect of the human being. It was not a defamation of an old fool more of call to useful ideals:thumbs_up
