Having thoughts about how gender affects people's perceptions of characters in the Odyssey...

If Calypso was male and Odysseus female, Calypso would almost definitely be considered a rapist. She has sexual relations with someone who is at best disinterested, and at worst unwilling.

However, instead it's considered if Odysseus "originally enjoyed it" and it's really not considered that being an unwilling participant in sexual situations could contribute to his willingness to go home and reach Ithaca.

This assumption that because Odysseus is a man, he is enjoying and willingly participating in these acts with Calypso and Circe, rather than being pushed, feels bad.

Merriam-Webster defines final girl as "a trope in horror movies, referring to the female protagonist who remains alive at the end of the film, after the other characters have been killed, when she is usually placed in a position to confront the killer". Since Tamara is the only girl in her apprentice group to be considered fully alive due to the 'one of you will fail, one of you will die, and one of you is already dead' prophecy, she could technically be considered a final girl. In this essay I will-

You ever meet people who refuse to engage with anything critically and just parrot statements people say on the internet and you can't say anything?

Like, there's a girl who sits next to me and every time she goes "trans rights! Punch terfs! Anyway, as I was saying, queer is a slur never to be used by anyone ever and all men are scum to be obliterated off the earth ✨ #stay woke!" It drives me crazy. You are two steps away from being a terf, and no amount of saying "trans rights!" For the clout will change that.

TLDR: PLEASE engage and understand with concepts with your brain.

The one thing the first books do well is parallels. Of course the obvious ones are Call/Constantine and Aaron/Jericho, and to a lesser extent Aaron/Constantine and Call/Alastair, but may I present for your consideration: The parallels between Tamara and Alastair

Both were in the same apprentice group as a makar and counterweight, but were not a makar or a counterweight themselves

Both experienced the makar/counterweight pair in their assembly group fall apart because one of them died

Both are the only "true survivors" of their apprentice groups

#honestly theyre both such tragic characters in the sense of the ones who suffer are the ones left behind #tamara rajavi #alastair hunt #magisterium #darci rambles
