BEWARE OF THE PEANUT BUTTER PLAGUE!!!!!

the plagues of Egypt

Anna Nicole sphinx asks:

what has...

4 legs in the morning
2 legs in the afternoon
3 legs in the evening

a human!

Dionysus Dithyrambs: god of the double doors, who wanted to create a 'stairway to heaven'

he of the double doors= 'The Doors' Jim Morrison

William Blake: 'If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.' ~the Marriage of Heaven and Hell

young men who were shredded:

• Elvis
• James Dean
• Jim Morrison
• Kirk Cobain

Shakespeare: wrote artistic versions of a story we all know, like Sophocles

they both work with the story to craft something complete and creates catharsis in the reader, because they did these things, the reader doesn't have to

Tiresias: oracle who sees things although he is blind, sees the world beyond the limitedness of a man or a woman

there are no true or original versions

Juno= Hera

Senex: the senate 'stupid, old, impotent men'

Max Bacchus: Montana senator

Bacchus: another name for Dionysus

The messenger: comes with bad news, usually describing scenes of incredible, graphic violence which was never actually shown, just described (usually has a sadistic nature)

which leads you to ponder... is it worse to have something described to you, or to see it?

listening: because once you use your imagination, it becomes much worse for you because your imagination is unlimited

King Lear: when Cordelia dies King Lear is so overwhelmed by her death all he can do is cry and scream

Macbeth: unmoved when Lady Macbeth dies because he is so overwhelmed with all of the death he has just experienced

"Out, out brief candle! Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" ~Macbeth
