>>25228825i'd say you understood the text. what's next?
>>25228860Still on my Shakespeare palate cleanse.
>>25228794good one
>>25228890thanks, there are many days where it is my favorite book, although now that i think about it, lucan may not mention the fact that ceasar was facing prosecution. that very thing is probably covered in lydgate's translation of boccaccio's "fall of princes" (lydgate translates "giovanni boccaccio" as "john bochas"). i would not know what it says. i found that everything covered in it i had read elswhere. i got bored fast but would be interested to read something else by eithee boccaccio or lydgate. i like this:>These ookis grete be nat doun ihewe>First at a strok[e], but bi long processe.>Nor longe stories a woord may not expresse.”.
>>25229150Yeah, pretty much

>>25230634>wolfe reg is as unfunny, pointless, and misses the mark as HunterXHunter regs on /a/It does seem like they would appeal to the same crowd
>>25230869I guess this is the nudge to re-read some blake.Shame it filters me
>>25228906>may not mention the fact that ceasar was facing prosecution.so they left out like, all of the important parts? how else can you frame it if you leave out that caesar was going to be ruined, and much of his wealth and power taken self-servingly by his rivals in the senate?
>>25231749good question. it becomes a story of a man realizing he is able to obtain something and obtaining it. law is shown only to be a pretense in the face of might. "the drunken driver has the right of way".the poem was written under nero and lucan, the poet, was later put to death for his participation in a plot to kill nero, yet the poem begins with praise of nero. much speculation exists aa to whether this is sarcasm or genuine praise ffom someone who later had a change of heart. i read it as a guilt trip and i read the whole poem as a guilt trip. i say lucan was trying to write in was that would make nero feel called out and even ashamed, and this could explain ceasar being cast as a "rebel without a cause", so to speak.
