Sometimes you step out of the box, and you're free of the box, and you're out of the box, and you realize you are fairly box shaped. So you sit down, and you do a lot of introspection about whether or not you were always box shaped, or if you grew into the shape of the box after being forced into the box for so long, and whether or not there are stunted parts of you, that might grow, now that you're out of the box, or if you should just maybe wear the box around as a fashion accessory that conveniently makes life so much easier while living among those who expect you to be in the box, and in the middle of your naval gazing someone always shows up to try and put you back in the box.

In The Odyssey, Odysseus is extraordinary for the flexibility with which he can inhabit many different names, or no name at all. It is this quality of being multinamed and nameless that enables him to survive. By contrast, almost all the warriors of The Iliad yearn to have a name and a story that lasts forever. Their many names and titles, as sons and brothers and comrades and fathers and rulers, are essential to their identities, their connections with one another, and their fame after death. They fear, above all, being humiliated (cursed with a negative name), or forgotten and nameless. The lists and catalogs of names are essential to the poem’s own work, of memorializing and mourning the dead. Once the bodies return to dust, these syllables are all that remain.

“commitment on the actress part”

i really really need the fatal unpleasantness at netherfield to come out already because i NEED to know if my elopement theory will come true. ever since i read the last chapter of the rushworth family plot i kept thinking “they’re pushing these kids too far, if they keep doing that they are going to run away together”, but i thought that was just me wanting the most dramatic solution HOWEVER the more i read the previews and summaries and advanced reader reviews the more i’m convinced that jonathan and juliet are going to elope or at least try to elope. like there’s no way that the “final choice between respectability and love” is not about them eloping.
