Gave me everything I needed.

I enjoyed your analysis so much that I wish you'd do the same sometime about 1) Wallace Stevens's "Domination of Black," 2) Browning's Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came); 3) Joyce's "Araby," or 4) D.H. Lawrence's, "the Rocking Horse Winner"

Thank you. I liked your analysis because of the focus and the deep and human observation that you gave to the play. It seems like an easy conclusion play to understand, but it is very complex, and you showed that complexity.

Thank you, A really excellent breakdown and analysis.

this was super helpful, thank you so much:)

thank you, interesting analysis

Recently read that Jaws movie has a similar storyline. What do you think? ‘Steven Spielberg solved the drains problem by making the danger that threatens the prosperity of a tourist town not tiny microorganisms in the polluted waters of the baths but a far more exciting monster that lurks beneath the waves while vacationers frolic on the beach. Yet in all other respects, the first part of Jaws is a faithful compression of Ibsen's didactic five-act satire into half an hour of breathless action. For Ibsen's nameless spa resort on the southern coast of Norway, there is the New England beach town of Amity Island, whose economy is equally dependent on vacationers. For Thomas Stockmann, the medical officer who discovers that the supposedly health-giving waters of the spa are contaminated with deadly bacteria, there is the honest police chief Martin Brody, who tries to insist that the beach be closed down. For Stockmann's elder brother, Peter, who is at once the town mayor, chief constable, and chairman of the board of the spa, there is Amity Island's mayor, Larry Vaughn-both put economic interests before public safety. For Ibsen's corrupt newspaper editor, Hovstad, there is Harry Meadows of The Amity Gazette.’

thank you beti!

Fantastic 👍

Suggestive of Rousseaus notion of individualism within the social contract. Also supports Chomsky on media. Wholly applicable to social philosophy. Thanks for the insightful analysis.

we finna get an A with this one

Very interesting! -Sophie

would love if you talked about the reluctant fundementalist

Hi, Thanks and great analysis Have you read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius? Can you take and do that as a request? Thank you

Excellent.

Could you please do The concubine

what are the best lines in the play?

Yet I go to your "Home" on KZfaq and see, alas, that you've added nothing new for over a year. That's sad and unfortunate. Pages like yours inspire people to read . . .

Dr. Stockman was the greatest troll of all time. I say his naïve attitude was a put-on so as to all the more enrage the town and, therefore, all the more get off on Being Right and they Being Wrong.
