With this goddess and her being as suductive as she is how can you know that she wasnt wanting and pulling him toward her for sexual things? In a picture of Cassandra being raped, her legs are spread open and her hand sretched out toward Ajax’s groin area. Her body language does not look scared or terrified of him at all. She doesnt even show a strugle. In the picture she is completly undressed and Ajax is dresses from head to toe. She the thought of him rapping he rises question. She looks to me as one that wants to play along with a little roughness, but wanting it.

“Writing prolifically is a disease” is one of her claims. I couldn’t agree less. The real problem is publishing prolifically…. But I like how she combined wit with serious assertions, a very much British style mark. In the same line, although of course in a modernist and dislocated manner, of her autobiographical memoir, “A True Relation of my Birth”, we could read Dyuna Barnes’ “Rider”. I think you would enjoy it, she seems to be mimicking this British tradition of talking about ancestors and refined entertainment …she has a whole section dedicated to pot chambers….

Fantastic post. I am a YouTube vagabond myself. It’s so easy, and in being so easy, very satisfying to watch mindless content for hours on end while ignoring things in life such as trying to finish a PhD! While we are confessing, I am also guilty of this on Wikipedia…where I feel it’s at least more educational!

Regarding the game, I haven’t finished The Comedy yet, but I don’t see the problem here. It’s a fantasy game that is going for graphics, violence, and awesomeness…holding true to the book, regardless of the importance of the book in literature, is only secondary (or perhaps tertiary) to producing something fun and engaging. While it would be much “cooler” if the game maintained a plot similar to that in Dante’s masterpiece, we can still hope that kids playing the game will become interested in what the real book was all about and set out to read it for themselves. If the game accomplishes this in even .1% of its players, then I would say that is more important than keeping true to plot. Especially since it was the art in Dante’s writing that is what is most amazing of the novel.

Nice topic, would love to see more like this. And who knows…maybe EA will pick up on it!
