Neuromancer: Conclusion

At the end of this Novel, many of the issues get resolved but there are also many that remain unsolved. Case is able to complete his task that Armitage assigned him. They get the password from Lady 3Jane and unlock the Turing Lock. The poisoned sacs in Case are destroyed and he is able to live his life. Paul Riveria is killed by the poisoned drugs that Molly gave him and Wintermute is finally reunited with his other half, Neuromancer. Also, you realize that Case and Molly never really loved each other and that they just used each other for companionship. However, you realize that Case did love Linda Lee because whenever Wintermute manipulated him using Linda Lee, he became the enraged and lost self-control. Everything seems to have been resolved but in reality it has not been.
At the end of the novel Case is talking to Wintermute, who is posing as Finn, and Wintermute tells him that he is no longer Wintermute, he is now the Matrix. You are not sure if he is still united with Neuromancer and whether or not if he alone is the ruler of the matrix. Also, you read that Case sees the images of Riveria, Linda Lee, and himself. It is not unclear whether that was a real or imagined image. Also, if it was a real image was that a just a memory that had been saved or was that them in the matrix? The question of what happens to Molly at the end of this novel remains a mystery. The novel's last sentence is "he never saw Molly again" (261). You do not know what becomes of her. The world in which Linda Lee's consciousness was is still a mystery as well. That was a world that Neuromancer created and it is still unclear as to why he wanted Linda Lee and Case to be there together. Lastly, it is unclear whether or not Dixie Flatine was actually erased like he wanted to be. In the end, Case hears a a laugh that resembles Paul McCoy's which means Flatine might still be alive.

Neuromancer: Frameworks and Motifs

The two frameworks/motifs that I saw throughout part II ,and in some of part III, were the cyberspace and brain/mind/nervous system frameworks. There is one party where Case and Molly go to this man named Finn who runs a scan on them. He is checking Molly and he says things like "something new in your head?" and "silicon, coat of pyrolitic carbons." He is asking Molly if she has had any more surgeries to put new things in her head as if it were nothing. This is very strange and it once again makes it seem like Molly is not really human, she could possibly be a machine. Also, Finn puts things in Molly's head so Case is able to see what she sees.This goes with the motif of the brain/mind.
Throughout this section of the book Case is constantly visiting cyberspace. He puts on these "trodes" and goes into the matrix. It is somewhat complicated to understanding what he is seeing and thinking when he is in the matrix. It seems like he starts thinking about random things and people. He also visits cyberspace when Molly has to go on her missions because through cyberspace he can see what is happening with her. This cyberspace world is very different from reality. Everything seems more technology based and whatever happens to you in cyberspace is carried on to the real world. Molly gets shot in the leg and when she comes back to reality she is still injured. So this shows that cyberspace is not exactly something that is all in the mind but a real place.
