"an ass soo fine that it changes a brothas life for ever" that should be a tag line for a romcom.

Seriously, I haven't been as excited about a RU-vid channel since wayyyyy back when ERB came out. These are funny but jam packed with information about some of the greatest literary works of all time. Please, never stop doing these. Like, ever.

Stephen's story is so relatable to all of us because when we are young, we're taught that Life is simple and that's all there is. But once we grow older, we learn that life is more than that. Life is complicated and we learn from our trials and tribulations.

LPWeewer He ends up isolating himself from his peers and family for the sake of pursuing his artistic ambitions. Whether you view that as positive (gets to do what he truly wants) or negative (isolation) or bit of both is up to you

@jeanlucthomson2323 10 лет назад

Well, he doesn't become a nice person, he withdraws from anyone who could break him free from his bullshit arrogance, and he continues seeing women as objects. Oh yeah, and he thinks that he is the most important person in the world, and loses any remainder humility he may have ever had.

The part of the story where the priest delivers the hell-fire sermon was mad scary! It was scarier than the famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards.

This is amazing. The English language lacks words to sufficiently describe how good it is.

@teknifix 10 лет назад

The problem with the wings Daedelus made for him and his son, was that they were made out of wax, and although he told his son (Icarus) not to fly too close to the sun, Icarus did anyway and ended up falling to his doom. The labyrinth he escaped from was also one he built.. so perhaps he was a great inventor with really bad luck.

I love your take on these books! And your vocabulary is hilarious, I work at a high school and I can totally see the kids taking away not only a lot of laughs but a well thought out comprehension of what they are about to or have just read. I was wondering if you could do one of my personal favorites and one used in classrooms around the world. Please do a Lovecraft/Poe short story episode.

I love your videos, Sparkly Sweet! I am currently doing a master's degree in English Literature. I've been reading too many literary theories and concepts that seem to mechanize and nullify the true beauty of literature. I was desperately looking for something that will get me a good laugh. Thanks for the humorous video! It's good to know that there are people out there who still can appreciate literature.

More black authors! May I suggest Song of Soloman by Toni Morrison and The Palm Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola. Also, hit up some more James Baldwin, dude! (And do HL Mencken too, regardless of race. That man's angry reason needs to be brought back now more than ever.)

@alexf02071999 10 лет назад

Awesome summary. I'd love to see a Ulysses video, but it may be hard to summarise the main plot since the whole thing is pretty monotonous.

@jaredlow4362 10 лет назад

That would take 10 minutes minimum if he really wants to flesh out even just the major parts.

@alexf02071999 10 лет назад

***** "And then Leopold Bloom did some thing and Stephen Dedalus did some stuff and oh look Bloom's jacking off to some crippled lady that's kind of weird and here's Stephen doing some more stuff..." Yeah you're probably right.

just finished reading this today OOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEE Joyce does not play around! Lyrical and Dense as Beautiful as it is hard to follow following Stephen on his journey was a unique experience. Joyce haJoa power with description head and shoulders above nearly every other writer ive come across his aesthetic philosophy towards the end was fascinating to say the least difficulty: 10/10 quality: 10/10 i read this alone it would have been wiser to have seeked some guidance... should have believed what I heard about Joyce but oh well wont make this mistake again with Ulysses.

@Hotpocketmountiandew 7 лет назад

I never noticed that. If your mind is focused on abstract higher end goals like when dude noticed he was different. It probably means you have artistic qualities/skills. Because all the engineers I know talk and think in order. In the steps. A process. And in that book the war of art. The author basically says that too, if you are doing art as a profession. To succeed you probably have to think irrationally. Because rational thought isn't what created things like Dilbert. Or got you to that place. So people obsessed with "great" goals. Are actually just creative minded and are not served by the moment/being present. Im really grateful for how clear and comprehendable these summaries are too or I might never have seen these large themes. Which are easy to miss if you make fun of the books. But even that Ethan Frome book. I like it now because I never read it prior to the summary here. And endless people I found out. Really hate that book.
