(urth) Severian's sex Life

[Stuart Hamm]

Anyone buy Borskis theory that Severian is just a ruse to get the people of Urth to do the Aliens biddings  and not mankinds??

He's physically imposing and scary looking, what with being dressed like a
torturer (not to mention being truly scary, if you get to know him even a
little bit). Also cute enough. Apparently a winning combination.

And, to be frank, he doesn't really seem to give too much of a fuck about
consensuality, if you think about it.

An if you get him mad at you, and he hurts you, what are you going to do
about it? He's a civil servant who kills people for a living. You think
complaining to the magistrate is going to have some effect on his
behavior?

Think about it. Remember who is telling the story and might be motivated
to portray himself in the kindest possible light.
