(no subject)
All my recent posts have been school related. I promise, I'll be more interesting once the semester is out, but for now it's geek city and snippets of whatever project I'm currently working on. This, for instance, is a chunk of my final paper for Geek Greek Drama:
"In spite of the central roles played by kings in Agamemnon and the Oedipus cycle, they remain relatively one-dimensional characters; they are arrogant, stubborn, proud of their own power, and rarely motivated by personal attachments or softer emotions. Each is the idea of a king, larger than life despite his flaws. The kings portrayed by Euripides, while retaining the characteristics of their predecessors, are also motivated by a love of their wives and children; they are fully-developed, intrinsically human characters, and act as such, mirroring the overall shift in Euripides’ plays away from the archetypical, and towards the individual."
I wish that spellcheck would stop telling me that 'archetypical' isn't a word. It only does it to hurt me.
