Miles/Jonas (Spoilers for all of BOTNS)
Hey everybody. I just finished Urth of the New Sun for the first time, and the one thing I still am thinking about is the character Miles. Did Severian really summon Jonas into a dead body? I get that Severian can use the power of the New Sun to do a lot of different and powerful things but I still don’t buy/understand Miles/Jonas. If Jonas went through the mirrors the last time we saw him wouldn’t that transport his body and soul to some other time/place, not just his soul? Also would Jonas even have a soul/spirit that can be put into another body. If it was just his soul/spirit that got transported by the mirrors did Severian just pull it out of whatever plane of existence it was in and put it in the dead soldiers body? Thanks, I really enjoyed this series.
