And see Kinbote's commentary on line 929, headed "Freud". This is the only line, indeed the only word, Kinbote comments on in this passage. He gives hilarious examples of psychoanalytic scripture. One imagines this is a rare instance where VN has attributed his own views to Kinbote also.

 

Another one, I believe, is when Kinbote says this about pale Fire: “I liked it better when expecting less.”.
