AP Interview

[PLT]

Hmm, See what you mean, and I'm tempted to agree with you. BUT, don't you think there is a danger we are doing a school Shakespeare trick here and over analysing everything that is said? Sometimes I think we ascribe too much thought to people like AP when in fact like most of us (especially wives) he is just saying something, anything, to fill a silence.

You are also in danger of losing your **** status.

Sorry, typo, meant "Cult" status.

Ha, it always made me laugh when English teachers insisted that Hamlet not liking his stepdad was Sheakespeare's subliminal way of showing that the young man wanted to shag his own mum. WTF?!

and that mr tickles arms were a metaphor for him reaching out to express his desire to be accepted and loved by a world he felt alienated from.

We studied Lord of the Flies at O level and our English teacher was convinced that all of this"spearing" of the pigs represented something completely different. Especially when Simon got his "comeuppance"

Crikey, think I would have been disinclined to see him "after school". Has he been released yet?

I'd have thought Oedipus, but that's killing his own actual father and then shagging his mother rather than his stepfather. It's supposed to be the basis of male existance for, I think it's Freudians, I'm pretty sure Freud had those kind of weird beliefs anyway. I reckon they take it too literally, the story seems a bit like Planet of the Apes in that sense (if I remember rightly the book was by a French bloke decontextualising the slave trade to make people see it was wrong).
