Maybe this is reaching on my part, but Herman Hesse
wrote a story about a hideous dwarf who belonged to a
princess. He's given a puppy that he loves more than
anything, but the princess'
jackass husband drowns it. So the dwarf gets revenge
by poisoning the prince and himself, leaving the
princess alone iirc. What this might have to do with
the story, I'm not sure. It also seems to have
reflections of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
where everyone is a replicant, but not everyone knows
it.
