i think that's very interesting, and your point about lex falling into darkness despite his self-awareness at the outset is just right. the integration of the Shadow into the unified self is the work of a lifetime, it has seemed to me. in reading SV fiction, i tend to like stories that show lex becoming integrated and moving into light, but then i always go for a redemption scene!
this is a thought-provoking series of posts. thank you for thinking it all through.
