On this new physique of labor he has misplaced his pet chicken, leaving him to alternate between trying to find his good friend and discovering solace in distraction. Seemingly fascinated to the purpose of transfixed by something, regardless of how mundane, his search typically takes a again seat to his brief consideration span, however even his frivolous endeavors stay shrouded in a obscure chicken formed melancholy. Nevertheless, it’s this concept of the seek for an vital piece that’s misplaced or one thing but to be attained, the toll it will probably take and the expansion it will probably forge, that’s central to Weinberg’s work.
The seek for that means is the beating coronary heart of his cycloptic alien character, who presumably simply needs to know why he’s right here and the place he comes from, and if he can discover happiness whatever the inquiry’s consequence. So, though his chicken has gone lacking, the narrative is left purposefully unfastened, permitting for him to marvel over his objective and place in a complicated world, which in flip presents the chance for us to make use of him as an avatar in questioning over our personal.
