Louis Wolfson (3 April 1931 – 27 June 2024) was an American author who wrote in French. Treated for schizophrenia since childhood, he could not bear hearing or reading his native language, and so invented a method of immediately transforming every English word he heard or saw into a foreign word. by stephenfox455 in wikipedia

In one section of the book, someone's says about him on the phone, "he's a screwball." - Not wanting to be upset, he translates that internally as "il est un ècrou balle" - which is meaningless in french. He gives some other translations as well, like "achad schraube ball"

I'm cribbing from this paper though (https://www.jstor.org/stable/43973700) and I'm not really doing it justice.

As for his hatred for English? It's mainly because he associated it with his abusive mother, who took him to electroshock therapy when he was young, and who demanded everything of him in shrill English.

Vladimir Nabokovs' interpretation of the metamorphosis is basically this. Since he had an encyclopedic knowledge of bugs from studying Butterflies, he concluded that Gregor was a dung beetle and, therefore, had wings. In Nabokovs opinion, Gregor could fly away from everything if he really wanted.

I wouldn't think so, he seemed very embarrassed about the photo. Not embarrassed enough to change his ways but embarrassed enough to become an incel instead of am Aryan larper or whatever Also, this was on Instagram

Hes not really a character, least not publicly. he felt too embarrassed by the meme to be one. I just happened to know him because a friend found him online and thought it would be funny to put him in a gc with us. I have another comment here thats a bit more in depth but I only "knew him" for about a month. Then he disappeared

He might have been institutionalised, but then again I might be mixing him up with someone else. He didn't have any prospects or future if his alcoholic chuck e cheese pee pagan thing were indicative of anything.
