21 May 2006 11:42 pmI still owe to answer many interview meme, don't worry I haven't forgotten, but that'll be for another day.
Week end was very low on happenstance. I went to see a play called "le Viol de Lucrèce" adapted from a poem by Shaekspeare saturday with my parents. Lucrece being the story that made me most strongly adamant that Romans were morons it was probably not the best idea. I was hopeful the play might challenge the things that bothered me the most in that story, but thought they did raise some of those issues (notably with an appartée quoting Saint Augustin) they didn't come any close to answer them. Thus my distaste remained.
Anyway wrote a sketchy essay comparing HP and ASOIAF about how the two books use characters in the role of the "Mother", and especially how they contrast such characters belonging to different moral "sides" of the story.
Lots of Spoilers for all books of Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire.
