Character Names

I'm intrigued by this book. I'm not sure what the author wants us to think. Should we try and look for symbolic details? Or should we take the novel lightly instead? The book's pretty short but it's obvious it's dense in content. It's like an orange. It may be small, but the juice inside it is a great amount. (Pretty lame comparison, I know.) Anyways, what really caught my attention about this chapter were the names. we have: Oedipa Maas, Pierce Inverarity, Wendel Maas "Mucho"and Dr. Hilarius. These four characters' names are particular because they are associated with words or other characters we already know. From the one we can deduce the most is Oedipa. I'll be trying to analyze the rest of the characters as the story develops.
