Except that I understand it. My mind is following it, even as I tell it not to: if a woman speaks as Stella and acts as Stella and looks like Stella and believes she is Stella, how is she not Stella? I want to say that each of us, second by second, becomes the person we are next, and Stella did not become whoever this woman will be. Stella died in the hospital. But that is to prejudge, to beg the question. That is to assume exactly what is under discussion.
