A query: In the Vintage ed. of PNIN, pp. 9-10 we learn of three students
enrolled in Pnin's "flourishing" class in Elementary Russian: Josephine
Malkin, Charles McBeth and Eileen Lane. That middle "McBeth" certainly makes
the initial "Malkin" obvious, but I can not see any connection between "Eileen
Lane" and Macbeth. Can anyone?
