| nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME --Wurdz by Otep Shamaya |
 What About Bob? (spoiler)April 06, 2004 2:21 a.m. Related Reading So I watched What About Bob? today. It had been awhile. ...I love that movie. one of the first VHS's I bought for myself. Oh...and considering how old this movie is...if you haven't seen it....go see it ...but I have no remorse for spoiling the plot if you read on. I've always considered it to be a dark comedy. ...but actually this is a Classic Tragedy. Dictionary.com defines Tragedy as: A drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances. Contrary to how it would seem...with the title of the movie being "What about Bob?" The main character is really Dr. Leo Marvin, not Bob. He is the first character we meet. Dr. Marvin's tragic flaw is the ever favorite, Hubris (Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance) He tells Bob in his initial consulation that he can help him. That he, and his book can save even this exstreme mult-phobic personality with accute seperation anxiety who has a desprate need to have family ties. Really it's not that Bob ruins his life (and keeping with the Greek traditionally telling...maybe the Gods were angry with Leo for his Hubris and brought Bob into his life to serve as the tool of their will to Punish Leo) but rather Leo's hubris regarding Bob. His family always believe's that Bob is right. Leo can't have a patient be right....He is the one in the right. His family believes that Bob is eccentric...and maybe alittle nurotic but really nothing serious. This is questioning the good dotor's diagnosis. When he decided to commit Bob to the insitution none of the other dotors agreed with his diagnosis. Leo's house is distoryed because of his attempt to kill Bob because he ruined the Most importent day in his career. Finally, driven insane by pride and jealousy he loses everything and ends up blaming Bob for stealing his greatest idea. Instead of being angry he could have praised Bob for his improvement and used the situation to his benefit. But it's a Tragedy right? sometimes a happy ending is impossible. |
