okay i know i’m Back On My Bullshit but hear me out: found footage macbeth

[butchhamlet]

so much of the plot of macbeth revolves around… the fact that we don’t get to watch the plot of macbeth. we never get to see macbeth and banquo win a battle; we never get to see macbeth kill the king; we don’t see his coronation; we don’t watch lady macbeth die. so much of macbeth is what’s told through the cracks - we just get the lead-up to and aftermath of events.

so: found footage macbeth. security videos and transcripts from dunsinane and inverness. interviews with castle guards, lady macbeth’s handmaidens, figures like ross and lennox. news articles about the deaths of duncan and macbeth… battle casualty counts… whatever lady m wrote on those papers during her sleepwalking scenes… young siward’s school records… i could go on

the most unrealistic part of the iliad & odyssey is actually every single time they talk about a hecatomb of cattle like its nothing. 100 cows? in this collapsing late bronze age economy? Where Are You Getting These. Who’s Your Cow Dealer. Can I Have Their Address

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

[status-quo-hater]

"I love autistic people" until the autistic person speaks too loud and you think they should be mocked because they didn't perform a social interaction correctly

In The Odyssey, Odysseus is extraordinary for the flexibility with which he can inhabit many different names, or no name at all. It is this quality of being multinamed and nameless that enables him to survive. By contrast, almost all the warriors of The Iliad yearn to have a name and a story that lasts forever. Their many names and titles, as sons and brothers and comrades and fathers and rulers, are essential to their identities, their connections with one another, and their fame after death. They fear, above all, being humiliated (cursed with a negative name), or forgotten and nameless. The lists and catalogs of names are essential to the poem’s own work, of memorializing and mourning the dead. Once the bodies return to dust, these syllables are all that remain.

– Emily Wilson, Translator's note for The Iliad.
