Hawai in the early 1850s. That should be interesting....

I wonder how I would feel if....

Aolfe is s clever woman. She knows what she wants, and what E needs. If, in the end , that is a rather dom/sub relationship - as I suggested after a previous chapter - so be it....

It will be revealing to see/ hear/read how much or, probably, little the two will be saying to one another. Yet, the communication, even silent, will determine O's future

It's music for the eponymous film. Not bad at all.

Well, after the two Gluck opera's, and Theodorakis, there may be place for a new musical rendering, in our times - if only given the political relevance of, at least, the first part of the story: a leader ruthlessly offering his daughter - sons, people - for war gains. A challenge...?

Based on the information we now have, I concur with this guess: the critical druid.

Absolutely the fastest change - if it is that...- from self-hating closeted gay towell, yes: to what?

It would be a real treat if we could actually hear and see the Iphigeneia 🙂

A frightening beginning. Yet he did not loose himself. A sign, perhaps.

The veil is slowly tearing - rather than being forcefully, suddenly ripped. We remain spell-bound.

Well, Jamie says something like Christopher not stopping talking about M....

Interesting. But... I feel I have missed something. It now seems as if C and M have had many conversations - of which I am not really aware - and that they were of such s nature that C has repeatedly told his friend(s) about them, and him, whereas It was under the impression that the (few) exchanges they had left him puzzled, and even disturbed, in such a way that he would most certainly not share them with any other person.

This is indeed a spell-binding, moving chapter. The step-for-step growth of self-awareness. The thought about questions being currency and answers positioning, in so many social situations, is terrifyingly apposite.

A very convincing evocation of time-disruption - modern "gothic" at its best. Since, as far as I know, no one has really experienced such shifts and told science, or psychology, about its effects on the psyche, you've really set yourself a difficult task: telling us how C is going to deal with it.
