Zampano vs Navidson

[Felicia]

The more I read <FONT COLOR="#0000FF">H</FONT>OL (and I've read it three times already), I can't help but think that Zampano and Navidson are one in the same. Both were blind. At least, due to the <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"> House</FONT>, Navidson ended up blind in one eye. Perhaps later in life, he eventually ended up losing sight in both of his eyes? In the end, Karen is diagnosed with breast cancer. In Appendix B, on page 547, Zampano writes in his journal, "...I still have nothing because so much of sum 'things has always been and always will be you. I miss you." Could this be Karen that he is missing after she has died? Then there's the whole architecture thing that Zampano repeatedly talks about throughout the book which ties into Navidson's son's interest: Chapter XXIII, p. 526, "Chad on the other hand has become obsessed with Lego, spending countless hours with pounds and pounds of their arrangement. When questioned about this newfound interest, he only says that someday he wants to become an architect."

I dunno. I'm just thinking off the top of my head here. I could be totally wrong about this whole thing. If anyone has any opinions or comments about this, feel free to post them.
