violsvaSo everyone should go read The Café Elsinore by hoc_voluerunt. And then come here and talk to me about it.
It's made me think about modern adaptations and changing portrayals of mental health and the cliched argument over the transfer of power between generations in comedies vs tragedies and how parental relationships in Shakespeare compare to parental relationships in fairy tales. And I haven't had all these thoughts in my head at one time since university or mayybe when I was reading Aurora Leigh the year after, and oh, my brain is back.
(My brain is actually having serious difficulties at the moment, but the return of my critical reading skills can only be a good sign)
