Geç kalmışlığın ilacı yok...'unutma bunu...'

•["vaktinde sev beni: çok yaş almadan bedenim, ruhum çok solmadan, bastona başvurmadan ellerim, içimdeki aşk çiçekleri solmadan, canımdaki baharlar eksilmeden, kalbimdeki umut ölmeden; vaktinde çok sev beni, çok sev beni, çok sev..."]

The Woman's Part

Sooo hey. I finally did something with my Shakespeare MA...

The Woman's Part is a collection of original prose and erasure poetry inspired by Shakespeare's women — their unlived lives, unspoken desires, and unwritten stories — using speeches and characters from thirteen plays.

It's been described as:

"A small piece of genius [showing] not only a profound understanding of Shakespeare, but of humankind in general." — Cathy Ulrich, author of Ghosts of You

and

"[The Woman's Part] has reimagined Ophelia and Juliet and more into striking freedom through speaking up, sailing away, and eating hearts." — Gwen Kirby, author of Shit Cassandra Saw

and

"To read it is to join the rebellion. An affecting and finely-crafted masterpiece which invites us to unlearn our deepest Bard-based archetypes. Stunning, incisive and fearless writing from one of the most exciting new voices on the literary scene." — Dr Chris Laoutaris, The Shakespeare Institute

~

I put my heart, my rage, and all my obsession with Shakespeare into this, and I would love for you to read it.

Kellan: Grand Arbiter Lavinia, hope I didn't catch you at a bad time?

Lavinia: Not at all. What brings you to the senate today?

Kellan: I wanted to introduce you to someone. This is Amalia, the cartomancer I talked to you about?

Lavinia: Ah, great! Nice to meet you, miss.

Amalia: Nice to meet you! Kellan mentioned you wanted my help with something...?

Lavinia: Yes, was he being accurate when he said you could make maps of everything around you? What's your range?

Amalia: More or less... Limitless? It just takes longer the bigger it is.

Lavinia:

Amalia: I'd have to stop and rest, of course, and as the map gets larger the longer it takes and the harder it is to change stuff- Grand Arbiter?!

Lavinia, already drafting a contract: The Senate hasn't had an up to date map of the 10th in the past century. What's your price? When can you start?

i know this all started like 11 years ago but i'm still so mad at how the hunger games movies have removed practically every trace of the avoxes that they can. i know that movies can't include everything from the books, but the avoxes are so important to the story and it does a real disservice to the movies by removing them. also, it would have added maybe a couple minutes per movie to include them the way they were in the books.

there are mentions of them here and there, and we do see lavinia briefly, but the only avox who's there in any meaningful way is pollux. and they couldn't take him out of the movie! not only is he important to include with the camera crew, he has to be there because he's the one who leads the group through the tunnels. if it were possible to cut him out of mockingjay, i think they would have.

removing so many scenes with lavinia genuinely detracted from my enjoyment of the first movie. especially witnessing her capture & carrying the guilt about it. when there are avoxes waiting on her, katniss does treat them politely, but i think it would have been so important & impactful to see her truly recognizing lavinia and her humanity and trying to communicate with her like anyone else. fixing this probably wouldn't add more than like 5 minutes to the runtime, but it would be such an improvement.

and don't even get me started with darius being removed from the movies. maybe he shows us a little less about katniss's character than lavinia would, but the mentions of him in catching fire add so much to our imagination of the hob and illustrate just how different peacekeepers were in district 12. this is also the first time this has happened to someone katniss actually knows. i think this would take maybe a minute and a half to fix? at most. really all we would need to see is darius talking to katniss in the hob, then being one of the peacekeepers getting captured when thread takes over.

obviously they kept pollux in because they literally couldn't remove him from mockingjay. i don't really have any complaints about his portrayal in the movies, which is kind of surprising given how passionate i am about him. also, the movie actually portrayed castor's death better than the book! it wasn't really in the book, basically castor was there and then he wasn't. so the movie version has a lot more impact.

also, it sucks that we didn't get to hear what happened to lavinia and darius. i always have intense second-hand embarrassment at the fact that in the book, peeta realizes pollux is an avox then immediately starts trauma dumping about seeing lavinia and darius tortured to death. if it were done as written in the movie, i might have experienced literal physical pain. but at the same time, i think it's very important that katniss finds out what happened to them. also in the books, squad 451 hears all the avoxes in the tunnels screaming as the mutts kill them. i feel like that would have been really easy to add in.

anyways we are moving on before i write an entire dissertation on pollux.

it was even worse in tbosas! the movie cut the scene where snow sees dr. gaul experimenting on and torturing avoxes. it would have been absolutely horrifying to see that translated to the screen, but it's incredibly important to snow's character development and his transformation into someone who both allows and perpetuates that cruelty. also, justice for ma plinth! i think it would have been incredible to see more of her and the way she treats people. in the book, she is so kind and caring to the avoxes working in her house. they're able to communicate with her, and she cooks food that will be easy for them to eat. since treating the avoxes as remotely human is so unusual, treating them with such love and respect is a revolutionary act, and goes to show what kind of person sejanus was raised to be. i know that this would add quite a bit to the runtime, but it probably should have been two movies anyways.

i know that side/background characters are cut from movies all the time. it happens. but even without getting a lot of lines, the avoxes are incredibly important to the story. these are people who have been enslaved, tortured, and dehumanized more than basically anyone else in panem. once characters truly see the avoxes, they're forced to confront the true brutality of the capitol and what they'll do to keep people in line. i think the movies don't truly force audiences to confront the brutality of this punishment. any rebellion is punished by literally robbing people of their voices and cutting them off from everything they've known. even if there's someone left to buy their freedom, they're physically disfigured for life--even removal of part of the tongue can have catastrophic side effects.

also, characters' perceptions of avoxes can say a lot about the kind of person they are. avoxes are the lowest class in panem, and treated with about as much agency as a piece of furniture. people aren't supposed to treat them like people. they're only supposed to talk to avoxes when giving them an order. despite this, there are certain characters who choose to show them kindness and love.

anyways i'm gonna end this here before i write a post so long it crashes tumblr but pls ask me literally anything about pollux i am in love w him <3

I'm not having a good day so neither will you, so please remember:

• there might still be people who used Finnick when he was 14 in The Capitol who went unpunished

• Gale's name doesn't make Katniss smile anymore

• Haymitch and Effie didn't actually end up together and he probably never saw her again

• Madge died and will never get her happy ending

• Gale will never go to the woods he used to hunt in

• Haymitch has no family and did not recover from alcoholism

• Johanna was alone when she got back to 7 and probably never got over her hydrophobia and will sink into deep depression and alcoholism and die alone

• Enobaria was also probably tortured like Peeta, Johanna and Annie but nobody ever mentions it just like they don't mention the fact that most/all of her friends and family are dead

• one day Katniss will have to explain to her kids where auntie Prim is

• Katniss and Peeta got a boring ending but were too exhausted to search for a better one

• Beetee had to watch Wiress, his wife, die and most likely will never recover

• Lavinia, the red haired Avox girl, had the most traumatizing life than any other character and yet still died with no one even knowing her name

• Haymitch lost Chaff, his best friend

• Finnick died not knowing Annie was pregnant

• Pollux heard Castor's screams as he was getting ripped apart and Annie heard the cries of other tributes as they were drowning around her

• Tigris saw Lucy Gray in every rainbow
