	Dowling on Pale Fire
		I think that John Shade and Kinbote are creations of a narrator resembling Vladimir Nabokov, and that this narrator "shows himself" at a certain crucial point in a way that cannot be denied.
		On the "naturalistic" level, the man who kills John Shade is just Jack Grey, an escaped lunatic from a local hospital for the criminally insane.
		Shade's "death," in short, is simply the moment at which the poem Pale Fire comes to an end (with one missing line, which would have been, as Kinbote observes, identical to the first line and a completion of an elaborately symmetrical 1000-line poem).

		Sybil Shade: Sybil is the wife of the poet, John Shade.
		While John Shade's poem suggests that their marital relationship was vibrant and full of love, Kinbote's commentary suggests that John is unhappy with Sybil.

	Charles Kinbote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the face of it, Kinbote appears to be the author of the Foreword, Commentary and Index surrounding the text of John Shade's poem "Pale Fire".
		In the course of apparently scholarly but increasingly deranged annotations to Shade's text, Kinbote's megalomania reveals itself: he believes himself to be the exiled king of Zembla, whose story he has (thitherto unaccountably) intertwined with his commentary on Shade's poem.
		His delusions are the subject of ridicule from most of the staff, except Shade who feels sorry for him and indulges his insanity.

	WCD on Pale Fire
		The speaker of the poem is John Shade, a poet-in-residentce at an eastern college.
		Since then John Shade's life has consisted of (1) wondering urgently if there is any sense to the hope of life beyond the grave, and (2) turning this wondering into poetry.
		Shade's most recent poem has been a long (4 canto) work in rhymed couplets about the suicide of his daughter, Hazel Shade, and his own thoughts about death and immortality.

		And underneath this reassuring canopy lies a garden--a woodland cocoon to ward off the intrusions of a residential neighborhood, a mystery of shadow and light and color, a garden where the loudest sound is not traffic, but birds hopping on mulched paths.
		Imagine John's British accent and diction as he calls it "a short-term perennial handsome in foliage." Like all hellebores, it requires light to full shade, well-drained soil, and lots of moisture.
		John likes to plant goldenstar along his paths, because the plant can stand up to a certain amount of foot traffic.

	Sample Chapter for Boyd, B.: Nabokov's Pale Fire: The Magic of Artistic Discovery.
		Shade at his most playful, as here, is also, we will discover later in the poem, Shade not far from his most philosophical, disclosing his delight in the combinations of the world around him, sensing what almost seems the inherent playfulness of things, apprehending and reshaping his world with an answering spirit of play.
		Shade ends the canto and the poem by looking around him as he writes, in the late afternoon of July 21, 1959, at the chance harmonies of the present.
		The story of Shade's past has caught up with his present, with the day and the very hour of writing; he is ready to set his poems back on their shelf as he awaits the sunset.

		Similarly, one could imagine Shade improved, as it were, by death: From his new, highly privileged perspective, he may be able to shape both text and texture at a level of accomplishment that was impossible to him in life.
		Shade's colleague, Charles Kinbote (who may or may not be the exiled King of Zembla), rescues the manuscript, persuades Shade's widow to appoint him its literary executor, leaves New Wye and, in a noisy motel room in the western state of Utana, writes a commentary to the poem.
		Above all, Shade's commentary is a slap in the face of non-being, a refusal to accept the limits of mortality.

		The story of Prester John is known today from almost 100 manuscripts, written in several languages, including Hebrew, which are scattered throughout the libraries of Europe.
		It is believed that the historical nucleus of the story is rooted in the coming of one 'John, the Patriarch of the Indians', who came to Rome in the pontificate of Calixtus II in 1122.
		From the middle of the 12th century onward it was accepted in Europe that Prester John, king and priest, was a ruler over territories in the East, though the area of his reign was not precisely defined.

		Convinced that he has inspired Shade with his fantastic tale, the lunatic critic forces his annotations into meaning that the poem is a cryptic description of his escape from the realm of Zembla.
		Kinbote’s analysis of Shade’s poem has been said to be the most famous example of the way criticism can violate the so-called “true” meaning of a text, and Pale Fire has been interpreted as a satirical work at the expense of “legitimate” criticism.
		By an extraordinary coincidence (inherent perhaps in the contrapuntal nature of Shade’s art) our poet seems to name here (gradual, gray) a man, whom he was to see for one fatal moment three weeks later, but of whose existence at the time he could have not have known.

	Nabokov's Pale Fire appears to be an edition of a poem written by John Shade with a forward, commentary, and an index ...
		Nabokov's Pale Fire is a fictitious edition of a poem by John Shade with commentary by an egocentric critic, Charles Kinbote.
		Boyd then looks at the patterns occurring between Shade's and Kinbote's contributions, which have led several critics to argue that the whole of Pale Fire was written by one deceptive meta-author.
		Boyd discounts Nabokov's warning that Shade has learned not to believe in "domestic ghosts." Shade's subtler discovery, which Boyd has missed altogether, is that certain kinds of poetic patterns tend to suggest a meta-author, and similar patterns in real life tend to suggest supernatural meta-authors.

	genius and plausibility
		He posits, and argues with his customary clarity and wealth of textual evidence, that Kinbote is after all a "real" character (that is, not invented by Shade), but that Shade (who is indeed murdered) survives as a spirit after death and influences Kinbote's commentary in a number of complex and significant ways.
		Rather, Shade casts a long shade indeed, adding to what Boyd II calls "the Matter of Zembla" all the Gradus material, and all of the intricate counterpoint between poem and commentary as far as it reflects the approach of Kinbote's fantasized assassin.
		The answer would appear to be no. Boyd II is clear that Shade's posthumous contribution affects the commentary's content (via the introduction of Gradus) and its construction (through elaborate contrapuntal interweaving of the Gradus theme with Shade's poem), but not the style itself.

		1 Nabokov wrote the novel in 1960-1961, and published it in 1962, but Charles Kinbote signs the Foreword on October 19, 1959, after having also written the Commentary to John Shade's 999-line poem, "Pale Fire," which he reports was composed between July 2 and July 21, 1959.
		Shade as sole author of Pale Fire is not my idea, but I have made the most detailed case for it, both in VNAY and in the internet discussion, where it has often been referred to as if it were just my argument.
