In the final analysis, I too feel Travis was not a hypocrite, I mentioned
it as a point of speculation, and that's exactly a lot of what this is.
Obviously he is not sane and doesn't think like a normal person; however,
it can be argued he suffered from "doublethink"; this is not uncommon, not even for sane people; lots of people, including myself, have
committed this type of fallacious thinking, it can go on indefinitely if
not exposed for what it is through rigorous argumentation from others as
a number of people simply don't have the capacity for deep, objective self-
analysis.
As for Herrmann's ominous "three notes"; this portentous indicator points
to what I had in mind when I stated that Travis had received a catharsis
from the climatic battle and ironic resolution, but qualified the statement
by saying "at least temporarily", implying that Mr. Bickle indeed might not
have completely exorcised the demons from his tortured soul. - AH
