Several critics have been taken hostage. They are forced at gun point to write incredibly dense texts, invent new modes of readership for these texts, and submerge those modes (the means of gaining access to them) in the original dense texts.

Some of the critics wish to escape this bondage, wish to subvert the work or antagonize their captors, some are so afraid that they work tirelessly in the hopes of survival, and others see the whole ordeal as the most genuine form of flattery.
