I finished Bahssikava! in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, April 14 2005 15:56 Profile Homepage #1 I am extremely pleased to hear that you liked it. :) Be sure to write a review when you work up the energy. I did my best to make only reasonable assumptions about slith history within the context of the sparse details that the Avernum series gives, which is why I (hopefully) didn't over-reach myself on the background. Have you played LP yet? It's smaller in scale but a little more tightly plotted. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Much more than that, but let's not go there. quote: 2) Mozart did Figaro? More shame on Whackoff Wille, then. The fact that you apparently don't know the difference between a Shakespeare play and an opera does not lend credence to anything you say about Renaissance art forms. quote: metaphor is use of relation between concrete item and abstract idea. No, it's really not. Metaphor relates two items by stating that they are the same when they literally are not identical, but share some essential features in common (often explaining one situation in terms of another). Allegory is the representation of abstract ideas by characters in a story. Shakespeare used a lot of metaphors, but I can't think of an instance when he wrote a real allegory. Morality plays had gone out of style a few decades earlier (thank god), and they were the main allegorical works on the Renaissance stage. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Not because it is a criticism of the present; because it is made on invalid grounds. There are problems with gender relations in the world today.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, April 14 2005 12:19 Profile Homepage #49 You know comically little about Shakespeare to be criticizing him (HIV doesn't stand for any Shakespeare play unless you mean Henry IV, in which case I'd have to ask you if you meant one or both parts, and Marriage of Figaro is a Mozart opera), but then, I forgot that the only thing you care about at all is bemoaning the evils of capitalism. If no artistic work can have merit if it doesn't do that, then I guess you would have trouble appreciating what Shakespeare does. You've also confused metaphor with allegory again. If you want allegory about economic systems, then yes, you're pretty much stuck with twentieth-century writings. But if you want actual metaphor, then Shakespeare does it as well as just about anyone. And your degenerating spelling does even less to recommend you as a literary critic, but hey, who I am to judge. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Don't get me wrong (or misrepresent me): poets gained certain things by dropping meter, too. I tend to prefer the older forms, but I recognize that as a personal preference, not a judgement of absolute merit. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Phaedra in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, April 14 2005 05:34 Profile Homepage #118 quote: Originally written by Le Martyre de la Terreur: 2) Stop being a sphyncter-licker already. Believe this as you may, it doesn't make you popular. Pot, kettle, you know. quote: Originally written by Ash Lael: Would you object to someone using that defence for their scenario that centered around the Vahnatai trying to destroy the Empire with monster plagues? That's different, and I have enough respect for your intelligence to assume that you know that it is, so I'm not sure why you're saying it. At any rate, I don't feel like arguing this point, because I've already stated the main reason why I used the graphic (you referenced it). quote: Originally written by Le Martyre de la Terreur: *And really- are you telling me that the direction fashion is going in doesn't* stress that women are weak? When women wear less and less, that's not "empowerment." Many actual women would say differently. Madonna, for one. The pre-1960's view of sexuality that you hold up as being better was really little more than the inability to talk about sexuality at all, including for women to talk about their sexual needs and desires. As annoying as it is to have "Sex in the City" on TV on perpetual re-run, at least now we can communicate about these issues without having to worry. Yes, more progress needs to be made, but the simple fact is that the position of women in modern society today is better than it has ever been in any culture at any other time. quote: Which, as I have stated before, is more to me a matter of selling dignity for hedonism, money or both. It may be this way to you, but I notice that you neither are a girl nor are representative of an entire population. Again, a woman who makes her appeal exclusively sexual is a dumb slut, but girls who wear revealing clothing need not be doing that: they can also be intelligent, worthwhile individuals. One should not pre-judge them. Also, a women who dresses in a certain way to look good primarily for others has certified problems. A woman who dresses in a certain way to look good primarily for herself is strong, and I really don't think the two can be distinguished based on what she's wearing. (Phaedra, for the record, is strong.) I mean, you can take two approaches to this: the fact that some men judge a woman by her clothing means either that a woman needs to control what she conveys by how much skin she reveals, or that those men need to change the way they look at women. I'd favor the latter. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, April 14 2005 05:07 Profile Homepage #41 quote: Originally written by Annuit Coeptis: quote: Originally written by VCH: I don't like Shakespeare because well he wrote plays. One is meant to watch a play, not read it. Do we read TV transcripts? I would doubt anybody does. Have you ever watched a Shakespeare play? I have, and trust me, reading it is better. Unless the actors just were crap. They spoke so fast and monotonously that it was impossible to discern anything. Yes, the actors you were watching must not have been very good. Watching a Shakespeare play is on equal footing with reading it, and ideally one should do one and then the other. The experience really isn't complete without both. quote: Originally written by Le Martyre de la Terreur: Closed form- ie, adherence to ridiculous poetic standards that took us up until the advent of modernism to do away with. I personally think that poetry lost a lot when most poets decided to give up meter. Poetry lost its music and auditory beauty at that point. You have to hear meter spoken (and spoken well) in order to know why the rules were in place. Most people in this era haven't ever heard good meter spoken. quote: Shakespeare, to wit, did relatively little (if anything at all) to extend the art of skillful* metaphor This, again, is spoken out of ignorance. quote: his dramatacism could have been replicated just as easily as if Aristotlian epics had been translated Many of the ancient Greek and Latin tragedies had been translated at that point. That happened in the mid-16th century. Shakespeare wrote plays partly because many people wanted more than what was available in the classical tradition. Shakespeare does a lot that Plautus and Seneca never dreamed of, too. quote: his work wasn't revolutionary insomuch as it was mediocre in a fallen era I'm not sure how much it was revolutionary, but it was head-and-shoulders above anything that came before and most things that have come since. Try reading some Kyd, a morality play, and a Senecan tragedy, and then read Hamlet. For the record, Elizabethan drama was far from "fallen," at least in comparison with any previous era since the fall of the Roman Empire. quote: Moreover, he was good. You say this as if it were absolute. I say Shakespeare was a thousand times better than Fitzgerald. What makes either of us right? I do suspect that you aren't familiar enough with Shakespeare's body of work to judge one way or another. He wrote thirty-six plays (excluding those with mixed authorship); how many have you actually read/seen? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
