And then it turned into a shitty "feminist" novel. And I know that makes me sound gross, but it's in quotes for a reason. Because why, why does every book featuring a powerful woman always have to end up about
I wish I could have more love for this book. But I want 500 pages of an immortal's torment at the hands of humanity. I want a narrative of her suffering on finding a few kind souls, only to be torn apart by the next pack of dogs. I want a dark assemblage of our species' sins told via a recollection of an eternal life's worth of memories. I want her to be twisted and cold and cruel and I want it to be justified because that would be real. If someone wants something happy in there, throw a Sapphic romance in at the end that doesn't "fix" her. But I can't stand to read Circe talking about the cruelties of men, cruelties of gods and goddesses, cruelties of LIFE, just to turn around and
And then she

BĂĄr KirkĂ© törtĂ©netĂ©t kevĂ©sbĂ© ismertem, sokkal jobban kapcsolĂłdni tudtam vele Ă©s az isteni mivoltĂĄval csupĂĄn azĂ©rt mert ezek olyan gondolatok amikre gyakrabban kerestem a vĂĄlaszt. Ha a görög isteneket akartam volna megĂ©rteni, akkor ez a mƱ csodĂĄs kommentĂĄrt adott a megĂ©rtĂ©sĂŒkhöz narratĂvĂĄn keresztĂŒl.
A rengeteg törtĂ©net amelyben KirkĂ© rĂ©szt vesz Ă©s a rengeteg mitolĂłgiai utalĂĄs mind megĂ©rintettek vagy megnevettettek. Ărdekesnek talĂĄltam, hogyan kapcsolĂłdnak össze mĂ©gis a kĂŒlönbözĆ mesĂ©k Ă©s legendĂĄk.
KirkĂ© karakterfejlĆdĂ©se figyelemremĂ©ltĂł volt, Ă©s csodĂĄltam, hogy mennyire megĂ©rthetĆnek Ă©s megĂ©rintĆnek talĂĄltam. TalĂĄn ez tetszett benne annyira, hogy milyen karakterfĂłkuszĂș volt a mƱ.
A mellĂ©kszereplĆk mind Ă©rdekesek Ă©s Ă©lvezetesek voltak. PasziphaĂ© gyönyörƱen kegyetlen, Daidalosz mĂ©lyen Ă©rintĆ, PĂ©nelpeia furfangos, TĂ©lemakhosz Ă©s TĂ©legonosz pedig szĂvmelengetĆek. OdĂŒsszeusz pedig önmaga volt, mely nosztalgiĂĄt Ă©bresztett bennem, de nem mondhatom azt, hogy nem vĂĄltozott meg a rĂłla alkotott kĂ©pem teljesen.
A kĂŒlönbözĆ metaforĂĄk Ă©s gondolatok amiket megjelenĂtett igazĂĄn elgondolkodtatĂłak voltak Ă©s nem hiszem, hogy a közel jövĆben ki fogom tudni szedni ezt a könyvet a fejembĆl.
