Hamlet is Shakespeare's funniest play tbqh, his rant against Ophelia was pure gold

>>9398561
In a very basic sense sure but that's a very limited view of the character

My Twisted World.

>It's just before New Year, and Frank, an overweight American tourist, has hired Kenji to take him on a guided tour of Tokyo's nightlife. But, Frank's behaviour is so odd that Kenji begins to entertain a horrible suspicion: his client may in fact have murderous desires. Although Kenji is far from innocent himself, he unwillingly descends with Frank into an inferno of evil, from which only his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Jun, can possibly save him.

No one can tell, faggot.
Go ask this on the redpilled boards and you'll get the answers you're hoping to get

Ideology would quickly run itself thin after the war ends, people would become disillusioned about Adolf's ramblings, and the regime would have likely collapsed in the early 50's due to infighting, partisans, and lack of public support.

A referendum would probably be held, and Hitler's regime would be replaced by center-conservatives. After that, I dont know. Germany would probably assume the role of world police, similar to the US after WW2.

Hitler was a geniuine idiot, the only thing he was good at was public speaking. He was lucky to have been surrounded by a far more competent caste.

>>9398429
Im genuinely asking because Im interested, dude.
Why cant I discuss anything WW2 related without people thinking Im some sort of a /pol/tard trying to beg a question.

Not that one.

Probably Norton. Definitely not the Tim Burton one in the OP.

Just buy the Easton Press edition off of ebay for around $20. It's leather-bound and it'll last a long time. Unless your poor, in which case I would recommend pic related edition.

Pourquoi?

>>9397827
Et alors ?

>>9397827
Je deteste la français dans 4chan. xD

Because it's mostly rehashed ideas taken from people like Nietzsche turned into bad fanfiction.

Politics, that's about it

>>9397722
hmm I don't see how you could be further from the truth here.

In "Thus Spake"; "what is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal" <- hardly a feature Rand espouses in her fuck-altruism movement

true

Now everybody—

Can we have a best of Wordsworth covers thread.

when will he finish his story?

>>9397152
No. There is a lot of shitty literary fiction though

Pop writers all seem to have delusions of reevaluation like they charley dickens or some ish

>The Odyssey is fantasy
what the fuck

The unlikeable people here tell you to read in chronological order because you "need" the foundation of old.

I think it's nonsense. You can use a smart phone without ever knowing that rotary phones and party lines ever existed.

Just read what you want, but watch the very thick onslaught of sad and desperate responses to this post.

I've just finished reading The History of Philosophy by Will Durant and would recommend it or something like it as an intro to phil

>>9397092
the thing is I want to read philosophy properly and explore all kinds, but I have no ideea how to go about doing that, do you just pick something or are there big and old philosophies that I as a layman am completely unaware of

>>9397103
thanks, will check it out

Read more poetry and poetry criticism. Even stuff that you don't like or respect

>>9396749
Write a lot of amateur garbage. You can't just jump into the prose.

>>9396749
Read poetry. Study poetry. Practice poetry.

I find having a theme in mind to start helps. Then have a rhythm or tube in mind and start thinking of lines that follow it. Like... um...
>'Small and petite is just as neat and you're all sorts of fine'
Without trying to get the rhythm, it falls on itself. That's because of the syllabic structure of the word choice. The stressed and unstressed syllables pull the flow of the line
>small and peTITE is just as NEAT and YOUR all SORTS of FINE

Once you've got a start, you can start to find more critical direction with content and play with your meter to effect the mood of the poem. It all takes practice, and there are plenty of good places to easily find and look for advice. You'll start to become aware of your improvement. But only if your honest with yourself. Not lenient or too harsh. But honest.
