My question for everyone is this: As was brought up in class many times there is a doppelganger of Challenger. Who is the king of the ape people, my question is whether or not, first off, he or challenger is the actual doppelganger. Secondly, because he may have been the more 'savage' side, how does this reflect upon Challenger's original behavior towards Malone at the beginning of the novel, and maybe...somehow, Challenger left a piece of himself behind after his first exposition? maybe thats a bit out of nowhere but I'm just wondering. And maybe later in the novel we'll learn that somehow Challenger has actually killed a part of himself along with the king.
