I know it sound terrible but I've been trying to label/classify Oedipa since the beginning of the book. Usually most characters in novels fit into a stereotype, and the reason behind Oedipa's uniqueness is not that she has a lot of traits, but rather the lack of any. She doesn't talk in a certain way or dress in a certain style to give us hints of what kind of person she is. She goes from being completely dull to being hilariously odd. I couldn't describe her in one word because no words would come to mind.
Another character that bugs me is Metzeger: he is not funny, handsome or even really nice. He might have a pretty face but his belly is gross and he's old and there's just something unlikeable about him. It might be part of the satire to make the lover some fugly lawyer though...
As for the plot, it is way too confusing for it's own good. I cant understand what;s going on because there is no connections between one event and the next, it's like action jump from here to there like pop corn kernels in a pot. I like how he author foreshadows a lot because it makes the suspense rise and I love that in books.

This is a fine response, but you need to cite text. Remember you're graded on that as well.
