Richard Benjamin’s second gamble is our first, and running alongside him, deep into the arid expanse of Delos, we, too, try to resist our cathexis.  Benjamin’s is Yul Brynner, the android, archetypal gunslinger gone awry in whom the Westworld vacationer has invested so much.

 

 
Perhaps ours is also the android or perhaps it is Benjamin, or maybe we cathect the futuristic theme park itself, a beguiling womb of union and jouissance.
