   Sorry, I should have added that you would need to have a little   
   knowledge of current US politics. I've posted the graphic that   
   originally appeared on Facebook with a fuller explanation here:

   So one small graphic can help to clarify a political question, of who   
   to vote for in an election, and a literary question of the meaning of   
   a central artifact in a well-known novel.
