Beetle’s actions are proof that even though these characters seem far from human, they are not as dif- ferent from us as we woddlike to think In Vurt, Noon has created char- acters that appear very different from humans, and that live in a world that barely resembles our own. Yet if one can loolc past the surface-level distinctioris and un-’ derstand the deeper meaning in- terwoven into the text, the Vurt world is extremely similar to that which we inhabit.
