The Barrister’s Dream

“The Hunting of the Snark: An Agony in Eight Fits” is laden with Easter Eggs (hidden clues and treats that reveal layers of meaning in the book). Fit The Sixth: The Barrister’s Dream is no exception.

Some may prefer a perfect and absolute blank map when searching, but for those who prefer a few more waypoints here are some hints to get you started:

  • Did you find the literal Easter eggs?
  • Recognize those wigs from anywhere? How about the pig’s hat?
  • Who are the witnesses related to?
  • Each of the jurors has their own significance and opinion in the trial? What might that be (some deeper literary analysis for this one)
  • You’ve seen the pig’s maze before. Both in this book and maybe in pop culture. Do you know where?
  • Why might the Bailiff be the only one that knows the condition of the pig?

Good Luck!
