LJ! Yaaays!

Finally someone plugged LJ back in!
That was just bad.
And not everything looks quite worky now even.

Instead of LJ I did reading books.

Ibsen, A Doll's House
Have now read the chapters in the book about it that are about the Drama Text and Translation. The first chapter takes 50/170 pages. This was the chapter I was going to read before Torchwood. Note to self: size matters. ( Read more... )

Now totally unrelated things I'd put in their own post if I actually believed LJ would reliably be there for other posts:

Thought on DW and TW and themey connections:

Also: Jack and guns ( Read more... )

Now I want to have more interesting thoughts.



I was thinking what you'd have to do to A Doll's House to make it all men.
Big problem is the bit where she has to get someone else to sign for her loan. Who has to do that now?
If there's no women in the story then there's no patriarchal oppresion, which might be really missing the point.
And if they're all men then the children bit gets tricky to include.
And then there's the servants.

So there's a lot of stuff that is very specific to that time and those characters and those genders.

But there's other stuff that doesn't have to be. I mean, a bloke acting like Nora acts would be acting very queer, but that doesn't make it impossibly implausible.


... Why I always got to read things sideways?
:eyeroll:


Anyway, more book now.
