Why Andre Aciman is a F*cking Genius & My Soul is Transcending
During Elio’s conversation with his father near the end of the novel, Elio says, “Oliver was Oliver” as a way to sum up their relationship. In response, Mr. Perlman quotes Montaigne, saying, “Parce que c’était lui, parce que c’était moi.” Aciman does not provide a translation to this quote in the novel, and I was curious, so I just looked it up, and the part Mr. Perlman quotes translates directly to, “Because it was he, because it was I.” The broader and fuller context of this quote, however, is, “If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than it was because he was he, and because I was I.”
Obviously this quote in itself carries a lot of beauty and power, but I read it and something I learned in my philosophy class struck me. We just recently spent a decent amount of time studying Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, which is basically just a treatise on how he believes humans can go about living their fullest and best lives. He argues that humans must work to acquire virtues, which are the qualities a human can possess which make him or her inherently good at being a person. Once virtues are consciously cultivated, people can achieve happiness, which is the Highest Good, or something we desire for the sake of itself. We also wish for all other things on account of this highest good, so essentially, we do anything in hope of obtaining happiness.
A virtue that Aristotle regards most highly is friendship, which he says is a form of love. He goes so far as to define three types of friendship: friendship of utility, friendship of pleasure, and complete friendship. Friends of utility are friends because they benefit from each other, and friends of pleasure are friends because they enjoy being together. Aristotle argues that these types of friendships are easily dissolved, but a complete friendship is lasting because it is when two people are friends because they love each other purely because they are who they are. They wish good upon one another simply for the sake of one another.
I have no idea what sort of philosophical background Andre Aciman has, but based on the sort of ideas Call Me By Your Name explores, I feel like he’s certainly studied it. And if I am connecting this correctly, then he is saying through Elio and Mr. Perlman’s conversation that Oliver and Elio achieved this most complete form of friendship, which is a form of love, which is a form of happiness, which is the supreme gift humans can allow themselves. Aristotle also discussed how complete friendship is rare and often difficult to reach, which parallels Mr. Perlman saying, “You’re too smart to not know how rare, how special, what you two had was” to Elio. Finally, since Aristotle views friendship as a virtue, which are examples of goodness this means complete friendship is also an example of goodness. “He was good, and you were both lucky to have found each other, because you too are good,” Mr. Perlman says.
I am blown away. I am almost upset by the luminosity in this, I am euphoric in the truth. I am feeling the weight of this story in every crevice of my body. To have an author construct such a meaningful narrative with complicated characters who love, despite its messiness, for the sake of loving is such a gift for readers to immerse themselves in. Oliver and Elio loved each other simply because. Because they saw the beauty in each other, which allowed them to acknowledge beauty within themselves. And this love stays with them forever, because if it were ever to disappear, they would no longer be themselves. Complete friendship. Lasting love. Supreme virtue. Transcendent happiness. It all comes full circle.

# sit down and for the next twenty minutes think about # how even though they are from two completely different worlds # and this barry does not know this caitlin # and this caitlin does not know this barry # somehow it took barry three seconds to make her doubt her super villain self to # make her think of the person she probably was before she became killer frost

Red & Blue // Flash & Frost // Barry & Caitlin’s colors
I just saw the The Flash’s “Everything will change” promo and after seeing all the comments I feel bad for people who have commented that Danielle Panabaker can’t pull off Killer Frost. She’s such a talented actor. If she wasn’t you would’ve never seen her in The Flash! The Flash is all full of all great and talented actors and actresses. Yes including Candice Patton! I feel really bad for you if you can’t for once see beyond your ship and the actors you ship together !
How do you figure the only people who dislike Danielle’s acting on the Flash are only those who ship westallen? I’ve actually liked Danielle since my Disney days, but her acting on the Flash is awkward. Has nothing to do with me liking westallen since Danielle’s character has nothing to do with Barry romantically. It’s only her fans that are pushing for a relationship with Barry. I also feel that the young cast of the Flash are OK actors. The truly great actors on the Flash are Jesse Martin and Tom Cavanough (however you spell it).
Did I ever mention that the only people dislike Danielle are WestAllen's ? Did I ? No. You're the one that saying that. And people are not "pushing" for a relationship between Barry and Caitlin because they're fans of Danielle, it's because they see something called "chemistry". And I feel the young cast is also very talented actors! If Grant's smile didn't make you smile and him crying didn't make you cry and Carlo's jokes didn't make you giggle then I don't know which show you're on ! But then its your perspective and I totally respect it ! 🙏

precious adorables barry & caitlin matching in dashing red.
I saw this first picture and I couldn’t help myself Snowbarry all the way! 🙌😛
So … Zoom sent Lynda from Earth-2 to fight with Barry because he knew she’s his ex-girlfriend and it would be difficult? Maybe…
And in the future, he will send Killer Frost because he knows it will be a big challenge to Barry fight with Caitlin!
Even Zoom realize this connection between them and some people do not!
Barry called her "Cait", again!
No matter how many times happens, it will be always adorable!

Sometimes great possibilities are right in front of us and we don’t see them because we choose not to.
Barry to Caitlin: We need to explore something new
Me: YES YOU DO BARRY AND IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
