Annotation

Contends that the story is about semiotic confusion and the consequences of misreading. Interprets the story’s anti-Semitism through its bigoted version of Christianity based on cultural stereotype. Also explains the marginalization of Doc Fischer, likely an abortion doctor, and the importance of the narrator to the story.
