The Crying of Lot 49- Chapter 5

In this chapter of The Crying of Lot 49 we really start to see how everything is more and more connected. Oedipa goes to Berkeley in this chapter and starts to see more horns. She sees a muted horn in a bathroom stall with the words in the beginning of the chapter and then later again in a laundromat and a bathroom at an airport. By now, we obviously know that the horn must mean something but we don't know what. Later in the chapter an old man gives oedipa a letter to deliver to the "horn people" because he is too sick to deliver it himself. In this chapter we also learn about D.E.A.T.H or "Don't ever antagonize the horn" which  is ironic because to me, it seems like the horn is antagonizing Oedipa which in turn is making her curious about the horn. The horn is so present in this novel I am very interested to see what the horn means and who the "horn people are".
