| The book's antihero, Tyrone Slothrop, the map of whose fornications in London during the Blitz predicts the pattern of V-2 landings, was a classic schlemiel in the mold of Nathanael West's Lemuel Pitkin and Joseph Heller's Yossarian. Consequently, as Deacon listens to Consolata's plans to make the Convent cellar, with its walls of wine to "slake their thirst" (237), into their love nest, he is drawn to turn her into a "Scarlet Whore" intent on making him "DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF HER FORNICATIONS," as Henry Cummings put it in his 1766 sermon (qtd in Elliott, Puritan 123).
