It presents some pretty interesting, and yes, dynamic ideas. But I never read the book as the Captain was the hero, and Lila was the villain. Being a woman, I was much more interested in Lila than most. I well understood her point-of-view. I always thought the Captain represented static quality, and Lila represented Dynamic Quality. The interaction between the two of them was fascinating. I still think that's the case. Above all, I don't think Lila, the character, should be considered a cliche or her dialog dismissed as irrelevant. IF Lila represents DQ, then what is she saying to us?????? Did you really see where my interest lies? - And the only answer I can give to my question about feelings about men is MU. I could never answer such a silly question.
