 * __The Crying of Lot 49__**

I really do not understand the story at this point because it is confusing to read. At first, all Oedipa had to do was execute Inverarity's will, but now she is talking about all this secret stuff going on and she is having an affair worth Metzger. There is so much going on in the story at this point, that it is hard to keep up with what is happening. I do not like Oedipa because she has a nice life at home with Mucho, but she is throwing it away by having an affair with Metzger, the co-executioner of Inverarity's will. She shouldn't do that, plus she still talks to Mucho like she loves him, but you can tell that she does not love him like she used to. If i were Oedipa, i would just go home to Mucho and let Metzger take care of Inverarity's will, because the will is taking so much good from her life. Mucho is a nice guy with a good job, and Metzger is a bum who just tries to get girls. I think the setting is important because it is so much different to her than she remembers from when the last time she was there with Mucho. The scene when Oedipa and Mucho went to the play at the theater, it reminded me of when i went to see a broad way show in New York City. I admire Mucho the most in this story because he trusts his wife when she moves down to California for a little to finish the will. He is a nice guy, but Oedipa treats him badly by having an affair.I do not like this writing so far because it is confusing and very uninteresting to me, the writing is from a long time ago, so the language is different and hard for me to understand, so some parts of the story i do not get at all, because i do not understand what is happening.
