what’s wrong w Coriolanus :(
I never saw this my bad But i cannot describe it i think it is just the most evil and boring play in the world. i read it once and just absolutely despised it. i experienced what every cishet teen boy experiences in freshman year english class when you read romeo + juliet and decide to never read again

what’s a fun activity i can do while i rewatch the clone wars to make sure i don’t give up two seasons in. i would rate them or something but i think it would just end up being ‘how much cody is there in each episode on a scale of 1 to 10’
#i might just lightly liveblog as i go#newer followers if you want me at my tragedyposting you have to accept me at my tcw enjoyer#is enjoyer the right word.

More tragedyposting (and this is me jotting notes not an exhaustive thesis) but basically
I do think it's worth talking about the ways in which a genre that has its roots in a lot of stories which are arguably About Fate, originally written/told for audiences that would have conceptualized "fate" in a very literal sense, is going to hit different for a lot of present-day readers without active reinterpretation on their part
At the same time, I don't think that conceptualizing fate as a real and meaningful force acting on human lives is at all a prerequisite for conceptualizing fate as a meaningful narrative device. In fact I think it's sort of silly to suggest otherwise. "Fate isn't real" bro neither are any of these characters, the buy-in when you hear the word FICTION is that everything here is representation and metaphor to one degree or another
(The other buy-in is that stories are in fact constructed, which means that regardless of where they fall on a scale of naturalistic to fantastical in the telling, the ending nearly always IS predetermined in a meaningful and not at all metaphorical way! And I suppose at that point you could argue that railing against the injustice of the author is a stand-in for railing against the injustice of the gods, but personally I do think it's kinda. Willfully missing the point)
In a story where fate isn't the Literal Foreordained Will Of The God(s)/The Universe At Large, it's just...the sum total of flaws/convictions/limited perspectives or information that made it impossible for these particular characters to act in ways that would lead to another outcome. Or it's all the stuff that acts upon individuals while remaining outside individual control: a hurricane, a terminal illness, systemic injustice, the weight of history.
I get why people don't like stories about characters being acted upon by forces beyond their control. And I do absolutely think they can be told in such a way where the (shitty!) implication is that the status quo can never be changed and should not be resisted. But I don't think "every story should be about a hero who triumphs over adversity via the power of bootstraps character and conviction" is exactly free of shitty implications either, you know?
#tragedy stan blogging#my posts#if you are here to tell me why you personally hate tragedies I humbly beg you to consider#whether it is possible I have heard these views 2000x before and do not need to hear them again#when I already explicitly stated that your preferences are valid#anyway tragedies are about human agency even. ESPECIALLY. when that agency is limited and personally I think that's beautiful

Can we get some unpopular opera opinions?
i find wagner's operas are too drawn out and self important to enjoy and even though occasionally his composition style produces moments of sheer genius more of the time it's uninteresting shlock. i respect wagnerites who can see smth in his operas to appreciate that i cannot/don't but also i think the guy was a cunt and if someone is a self professed fan of his writings/Opinions™ outside of the stage itself i do not trust that person within a mile of me
also i don't know what it is about verdi that i'm not quite Getting. like his music is good but it never sticks with me as being memorable like mozart or overly evocative like puccini. there's a chorus or an aria here or there that stick out but it's kind of a wash overall for me with his scores, even when he's working with a good plot/characters. and his orchestrations are solid but often Too Much for me; would love to see how verdi would work as a chamber opera piece... la traviata is probably my favorite of his works that i've seen so far still which unfortunately is the boring answer i know (rigoletto and il trovatore have better, like, Themes but traviata is a more solid total package) but my more hashtag controversial one is that don carlo(s) is a mess and not very good even going beyond my personal taste issues with verdi's compositional sound.
and norma was really boring sorry.
[ask meme]
#'what should verdi be like then' great question so glad you asked. watch into the woods (1987)#also it pains and distresses me to admit that the meistersinger overture is as good as it is#i mean it still suffers from the same Overstatedness of like the rest of his output. but#the themes are solid and the counterpoint is masterful. regretfully handing a single w to herr wagner#before pummelling him back into the ground to rot#sasha answers#ask meme#sleepover saturday#tragedyposting#operablr don't be mean to me please these were SUPPOSED to be controversial.
