I simply took the two most famous soliloquies and merged them into a dialogue, applied some verfremdung, and there it was. I didn't really have to <I>do</I> anything. Shakespeare did all the work for me.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1119327234118749002005-06-21T00:13:00.000-04:002005-06-21T00:13:00.000-04:00I thought the wit in this one inspired.

Here are a few thoughts:<BR/><BR/>Doug: I love the cynical-sarcasatic undertones of your story. <BR/><BR/>Little Bar of Soap: Your story has something. The psychological exchange builds an immediate tension. Hard to do in such a short space. And then you set them up to a Herculean task, or perhaps another metaphor is necessary: Clara Bow taking on the entire USC football team. Believe it or not I used to go to Sunday school.<BR/><BR/>Mushroom: Damn I don't know the anything about "Our Town" except that it's one of those Americana plays that everybody does. But even without that knowledge the story clicks. Entirely believable.<BR/><BR/>Dog Face Girl: Cool developments of the Bar of Soap plot. You'd be surprised at what goes on at some of those churhces.<BR/><BR/>Monster Speak: You had some really creative associations to this photo. Brilliant story. I wish I could tap into your mind while I'm sitting there sorting through photos, waiting for an interesting idea to grab me.<BR/><BR/>Tan Lucy Pez: I'm glad you continued my story. I really should have apologized to William somewhere, but I guess he wasn't too angry when he showed up.<BR/><BR/>Oldhorsetailsnake, Ariel, Mushroom: I'm pleased that you enjoyed this one. I'll immodestly claim that it's one of my best, even if it was a simple academic excercize to write it. I just took the two most well known Shakespearean soliloquies and wove them together. Also, since reading James Thurber's "The Wonderful O", I've wanted to write something a little versified. Now I have. Don't expect me to top this tomorrow.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1119242506298378962005-06-20T00:41:00.000-04:002005-06-20T00:41:00.000-04:00I agree Ariel.
