- transmigration as death of soul of a human to another body
- no such thing as death, only change
- "Venus and Adonis" - Ted Hughes:
- Ancient mesopotamia story of Anana visiting her sister in the underworld, falling in love with Demus, takes the place of her sister in the underworld, and dies annually. (Opposite of Persephone and Hades)
- Venus drives Persephone mad and becomes the boar and kills Adonis.
- The complete goddess in two - Adonis blowing off Venus activates her sister to kill Adonis.
- Masque: amateur dramatic entertainment, ex. The Tempest
- Tarquin: ultimate villain, the boar that commits the atrocious act
- Macbeth pg. 1627:
- Shakespeare reference to John 13 when Jesus knows of Judas' betrayal
- Kill quickly
- "Rape of Lucrece" is inverse of "Venus and Adonis"
- The guy is wrong in both.
- Adonis by rejecting Venus' love, the offering of everything.
- Tarquin by raping the chaste.
- Chasity: Goddess Diana
- While Diana is bathing, Actaeon peaks. Diana lets him look and flicks water onto his head growing two horns. The hunter then becomes hunted. Actaeon's dogs do not recognize him, think of his as game, and attack him.
-"The first thing we do, kill all the lawyers"
- Largely misread quote. Should kill all the books. The english teachers are the first to go in a revolution.
-Sonnets
- Started because Shakespeare was commissioned to persuade a young man to have children.
-The Muse
- Woman comes down with wings sits on your shoulder and imagines things
- Have some mind babies - focus on immortality in sonnets
-View Midsummer Night's Dream as a jigsaw piece
- Put all the pieces together and spell Shakespeare. Every play is the same version. Everyone is an anagram of everyone else.
- Romeo and Juliet is the opposite to MSND
-Darkness outside of the puzzle is the myth
-The Wood
- place of trouble, insanity, lunacy, imagination, possessed by the moon
- wooed
-Four levels of myth
- Titania and Oberon (Puck & Fairy Folk)
- Hippolyta and Theseus
- Four Lovers
- Mechanicals
