You guessed it...
Class notes, 09.11.05Important pages of Calasso: 243, 273, 337, 359, 383, 387
-I guess we're supposed to pay particular attention to these, but I can't exactly remember (the hazards of
e-journal posting procrastination)
Calasso: "Myth is hte precedent behind every action; mythology is the story of what we do"
Helen: "We suffer so that someone may sing about us in the future."
-My thoughts: I'd like to think my suffering has a bit more significance than that...I don't really want people
singing about me, either. Good thing I never suffer.
Shakespeare: "The worst is not so long as you can say 'this couldn't get worse'"
**note** Items in quotes are not necessarily direct quotes; most are paraphrased or mistranslated by me (I'm committing "misprisons!")
"Deus ex machina" - God in the machine; genuine tragedy doesn't have this aspect.
And an extra-credit opportunity: Memorize Ecc. 12 (famous passage)
