>Claiming to understand Derrida.

Psued detected

I think he is trite and a little derridative

His understanding of his duties as a king was purely ceremonial. That's why there's so much pomp and circumstance in the first act. When he realizes that literally all of England (including its toads) aren't actually going to simultaneously descend and destroy Bolingbroke, his entire world is shattered.

Should have read contemporary plays, and histories about him. RII is major villain as a consequence of state propaganda toward everything out of established royalty lines. Shakespeare is extremely timid with the subject, even going as far as giving him plenty of redeeming aspects. He is a deeply flawed king, but he is nonetheless still the anointed king. A murder and disposition of which is a capital sin, as far as Shakespeare goes, which leads to no good for Boolinbroke down the line in both Henry IV's.

He couldn't play the game, he thought his position alone would protect him, but the English in the middle ages were rebellious as fuck.

Broken up usually. There's so much I want to read that I don't want to focus on one thing, but if I do want to quickly read a few, I'll read some other stuff in the meantime so there's at least a week's break. Though if they're bound in one book I'll read that all the way through. Like I read Shadow & Claw all the way through, read other stuff for a month, then did Sword & Citadel all the way through.

>>9669272
I marathon autors if I want to see their evolution on writing. For example, The Green House after The Time of the Heroe in the case of Vargas Llosa. It's a good exercise if you are interested on improve your writing or you critical abbilites, but only if you analyze the works and take notes.

What did he mean by all this?

>I am like a lot of people and I feel like I have a lot of stories in my head that I want someone else to know in some form

You don't actually.

If you actually did, you would have written them down already. It's just a dumb feeling you have, that you willingly believe in to make you feel like less of a loser.

>>9669181
I have in the past but I feel discouraged at the moment because I feel like my writing is shitty and nobody would care

depends on what interests you about philosophy
starting with the greeks is kind of a meme. the only greeks you really need are plato, aristotle, and maybe some presocratics like parmenides and heraclitus
but there's a hell of a lot more philosophy to study than the greeks. you'll never be able to cover it all in a single lifetime so any attempts to be exhaustive are pointless. just read what interests you

>>9669168
there's a different chart for starting with the greeks for philosophy. that's for everything and not a very good chart. i don't have the chart i'm talking about but i'd recognize it if i saw it.

Supporting America is a sure sign of an intellectual.

>>9669114
decent Americans always support killing commies

I get what you're saying, but I think it's too much. I think what's going on is that you've discovered that, at least in many novels, the characters are differentiated by their ontological views of the world, and the epiphany of this basic yet important discovery has made you think the idea more radical and wider than it really should be applied as in practice. But maybe I'm wrong. For my own ideas I'm trying to think of how to do a satire of 1984 but I'm quickly realizing that I'm not nearly intelligent or well read enough, yet.

>>9669021
Make it 3 characters, 6 is too much.

>>9669080
i wanted to 6 six characters because i wanted to show how influence and social status affects the world view of people, 2 of the characters being from the lower classes, 2 from the middle classes, 1 from the higher class, and the other character is how the reader might see the setting if he went there himself as a sort of grounding perspective. 2 per caste might seem redundant but i want to keep an even male to female ratio for the characters to account for gender differences in world view, although that is ambitious. I understand that keeping track of all these different settings will be straining so maybe as a compromise the settings between each member of a caste will have defining similar traits and characters.Im still pretty unsure about where i should go with this or if it's even a good idea, but i appreciate the point
>>9669054
I dont want to say that the idea is innovative or anything but as i developed it i saw that i hadn't really seen anything approach that idea in such a radical fashion, if that's generally because it's a bad idea or something else i guess i'll see, thank you for your comment
as for your idea, im not really "well read" myself
but i think you should define your reason of satirizing 1984, like which aspect of it would you find most important to exaggerate,which part of it the silliest to you and so on.
