Abstract	Commentators on Todo modo debate, amongst other things, whether the narrator’s rationalism survives the encounter with the priest Don Gaetano and whether he is responsible for killing Don Gaetano. The novel ends with a long extract from Les Caves du Vatican. On the basis of a comparison between the narrator and the characters in the extract, this article suggests that the narrator’s rationalism does indeed survive. Previous commentaries on Todo modo have emphasized parallels between the narrator and another character in Les Caves du Vatican, Lafcadio Wluiki, who commits a “gratuitous” murder. That parallel has of course been used to argue that the narrator kills Don Gaetano. This article re-examines the parallels and tries to show that they are relevant, not to the killing of Don Gaetano, but to the narrator’s defence of his intellectual freedom.
