THE ROAD AND THE FANTASY OF VIOLENCE A Lovely Jaunt 2024-03-24 | I read THE ROAD about a month ago. While I really enjoyed the book and couldn't put it down, there were a couple of fundamental areas where I disagree with the world as McCarthy has presented it in this novel.1. Humans inevitably form community. The world does not stay in sustained violence and chaos.2. The presumption of violence and chaos is used as justification for The Man's approach to life: one of pragmatic, defensive violence that slowly degrades his humanity.3. This idea participates in some fantasies of toxic masculinity that are bound up in the false idea that men have instrumental value (protection and providing) rather than instinsic value. These stories participate in a type of fantasy where men can prove their value under this model and glorify their suffering. And that's sad.FIND ME ONLINEDiscord: https://t.co/nITrAz1ov5Instagram: instagram.com/alovelyjauntTiktok: tiktok.com/@alexandra_alovelyjauntStorygraph: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/a_lovely_jauntGoogle Podcasts: podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9kOWZlOGRiYy9wb2RjYXN0L3JzcwSpotify: open.spotify.com/show/7CS7MOxj2mQ1B3mhHB4OY2?si=8ce19c01223f4b96

SYNECDOCHE | Literary Terms Mini Video A Lovely Jaunt 2021-01-29 | Synecdoche is a literary term that means using a part to refer to the whole.

INTRO TO ENGLISH LIT OF THE MIDDLE AGES A Lovely Jaunt 2021-01-23 | The literature of the Middle Ages in England spans 800 years and three major linguistic changes!

ARCHETYPES AND CHRISTIAN INFLUENCES IN THE GOOSE GIRL | Discussion Video A Lovely Jaunt 2020-10-25 | In this video, I discuss some of the essential recurring patterns for fairy tales: a heroine who is orphaned by at least one parent, the journey into adult and emancipation from parental authority and parental protection, and finally the primacy given to the value of telling the truth. This fairy tale also explores idealized femininity, which should be good but not weak. Finally, I point out how some of the narrative structures relate to famous Biblical stories and the way it explores the theology of justice and mercy.MY SHOPetsy.com/shop/alovelyjauntFIND ME ONLINEwww.alovelyjaunt.comDiscord: https://t.co/nITrAz1ov5Twitter: twitter.com/alovelyjauntInstagram: instagram.com/alovelyjauntGoodReads! goodreads.com/user/show/73893100-alexandra-lauber

SHERLOCK AND METONYMY | The Reading Diaries A Lovely Jaunt 2020-08-28 | You voted for Sherlock! I love Sherlock Holmes.

Watch me scrap a few pieces together and complete an entry all while talking about the beginning of The Old Curiosity Shop!

CARMILLA BY J. SHERIDAN LE FANU A Lovely Jaunt 2020-08-26 | The vampire narrative is always a perfect vehicle for exploring taboo sexual desires, and Carmilla does not disappoint in its exploration of female-female attraction. It's creepy, it's gothic, it's everything I want out of a vampire story! And it's more. In this video, I discuss some possible reasons for why we see this tension between paternal authority and sexual expression as well as the connection to the Genesis narrative.FIND ME ONLINEwww.alovelyjaunt.comDiscord: https://t.co/nITrAz1ov5Twitter: twitter.com/alovelyjauntInstagram: instagram.com/alovelyjauntGoodReads! goodreads.com/user/show/73893100-alexandra-lauber
THE PERSIANS BY AESCHYLUS A Lovely Jaunt 2020-08-25 | The Persians is unique to many of the surviving Greek plays in that, instead of dealing with Greece's mythical and ancient history, usually surrounding the Trojan conflict, Aeschylus writes about the Persian war, a conflict that happened only 8 years prior which he and probably many of the audience members participated it. It is a meditation on the ravages of war and the grief of a nation.FIND ME ONLINEwww.alovelyjaunt.comDiscord: https://t.co/nITrAz1ov5Twitter: twitter.com/alovelyjauntInstagram: instagram.com/alovelyjauntGoodReads! goodreads.com/user/show/73893100-alexandra-lauber
