[confession-session]

my roman empire is reading classic literature involving two male protagonists and yelling "GAYYYYYYYY" at the poor unsuspecting pages

Little Soldier Boy, comes marching home…

The constant parallels between Luis and Don Quixote make me SO sad

((Also the background is based off of a painting you can find in-game))

A bunch of Don Quixote related stuff because I swore that I will finish this book in the year of our lord 2024 and they've been piling up a bit. I love Sancho

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza at a Crossroad by Wilhelm Marstrand

[thequestioning-maiden]

“Good fortune is guiding our affairs better than we could have desired, for there you see, friend Sancho Panza, thirty or more enormous giants with whom I intend to do battle and whose lives I intend to take, and with the spoils we shall begin to grow rich, for this is righteous warfare, and it is a great service to God to remove so evil a breed from the face of the earth.” -The ingenious gentleman Don Quixote of la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

I think the most interesting thing in the whole world is application of DOTA to times where the Author's journey and nature is supposedly important. Kit Conner as Nick, whoever that is-what changed? To one who watches without knowledge, what will they assume of all that? Some say Nabokov had the right to write Lolita due to his experiences-but the reality of that theory shows little actual support! So does anything change there? Muir, who was inspired by him, her stories so personal to her-I knew she was a lesbian dealing with great trauma even before I opened Gideon, but not of her schizophrenia, and so latched onto and understood the personal elements of Nona, so close to Nabokov-but thought Harrow, at one point, was being revealed as "not actually schizophrenic" as a plot element, until I was told otherwise. Art Spiegelman had to declare the unsympathetic greed of his own Jewish father was reality. The themes of the Matrix; have they changed with the directors? Were they always there? And do those line up necessarily with the assumptions of viewers with lenses of queer theory, then versus now?

This fascinates me, it really does. Where does the right to risk offense derive? What is the line between an unusual, perhaps stereotypical, depiction, as personal versus bigoted? Is there a duty to assume? To research? To inform? Does it change if you assume the blind viewer will take offense, or will assume the offensive fine and personal?

Pierre Menard was no Spaniard; how could he say his depiction of the nation's history was accurate, and not merely based in stereotypes?

Marek Jaśkowiec — Don Quichotte  (watercolour, ink, on paperboard, 2017)

[andietries]

If there’s indeed a new season of Merlin it would be quite funny if it was Don Quijote styled.

Like, Arthur returns from Avalon and it takes some months for his brain to realise he is in a new era. Meanwhile, he steals tourist carriage horses, uses garbage lids as shields, attacks the tv, is convinced that the water supply is poisoned because it’s too transparent, etc.

And Merlin just jogs along, trying to fix the troubles the returned King is causing. Too happy that he is back to be angry

The Quixote came up today in class and I can't stress enough how interesting this novel is when the Quixote is not "just a mad guy" but the representation of another concept of knowledge and truth, and a member of a social class that has lost relevance during a period of changes in power structures. A period during which he was inside his house reading books about knights. This man hasn't worked a day in his life and much of his interaction with the world can be explained by that.

His clashes with the world aren't a question of mad versus sane, but the clash of different paradigms altogether.

Book 1 doodles where it was just a series of events where Don Quixote repeatedly got the shit kicked out of him.
