No he gets her consciousness too if you pay attention, it'sjust subdued and subsumed by his own. He immediately becomes more religious and when talking to Appian its mentioned he has more of temper now due to her influence. There's more stuff as well like how his body language changes and other small mannerisms.

It's not South America. The mountains are in the east, so they can't be the Andes. And the Gyoll flows west, so it's not the Amazon.

I think it's Wolfe hinting that he was a savage before being tamed by a good woman. I can relate.

Wolfe is supposed to have put some of his young self into Severian, but who knows where.

No, people are just retarded. I didn't reread any and instead went to the next series. I understood the main plot just fine.
