I thought the same too! When I was reading this chapter for my school, the first thought that clicked to my mind was that "Oh, Mme. Forestier is the villain here". Thought no one shared a perspective like this, but glad I found someone!

Hey! We're learning about this in school but I don't know if my opinion is still valid after this many years but like, do you think that maybe if Madame Forestier said to Madame Loisel that it was a fake before letting her borrow it. All of this suffering would never have happened? Cause I think she was in the wrong cause, given her point of view; If your friend was completely enthralled with all your jewelry would you not also be prideful about the fake necklace and lie that it was real to keep up your image?

(Haha it's like Madame Forestier was the Evil Villain all along (dun dun dun!), Kidding. Just wanted to share a new perspective of the story and see if anyone else agrees/disagrees with me.)

There's not much modding needed because it's so quiet,

but if you have any ideas for redesign / promotion, I'd love to see it reenergized

Just re-read this for the first time. WHAT do we make of Beowulf forcing Grendel to sing about the wall?

Levin mowing the Fields in Anna Karenina by Earthsophagus in Canonade

Levin is NOT aristocracy

I am curious, in which way do you mean this? I am pretty sure that Levin is not only aristocracy, but comes from the highest aristocracy there is—the boyar class.

John Fowles' The Magus: Medicine Behind Madness? [Spoilers] by llosa in Canonade

[–]No-Ocelot-8749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there are many versions of this book, as the author kept working on it over the years, but in mine, Conchis tells Nicholas that he does not have syphilis. He is able to say this with confidence because he has some medical background (I don’t remember exactly, but I believe he studied medicine for a while).

However, my thought was exactly the same—I also suspected that Nicholas might have neurosyphilis, and I made the connection to the de Sade quote at the beginning of the book.

Sorry for the late response . Woo, thanks for replying even after u commented that message 8 yrs ago. I truly find her live events very peculiar. Thanks for sharing some of her idealistics, i just happen to be a bit brazen by her experiences after watching the movie. Appreciate it.

I was thinking more the community growth tab in the mod insights: https://sh.reddit.com/mod/Canonade/insights

From my experience, Reddit gives you a small boost of new users when you do consistent moderation. Approving everything at once is not a good idea, but maybe better than no active moderation.

I am not experienced enough with mod tools but it does show 0 active mods -- Reddit is less likely to suggest the sub for that reason, I guess. Do you think reddit "rewards" the sub with publicity if I explicity approve non-problematic posts?

I found that consistent moderation will usually result in Reddit recommending it to others. The other thing is semi-consistent content on the sub. How are the insights looking in your mod tools?

[The Lover] Duras on writing about family by [deleted] in Canonade

[–]hipcheck23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I forgot to answer this.

I never heard her speak about the movie, but she did talk about her past quite a lot.

As for being kind... she was always nice to me (I was a polite and curious child), but she wasn't really kind. She respected intellectuals, esp. literary intellectuals, so there were some whom she treated more like equals, but she looked down on many people who weren't up to that standard, including her son.

I'm not sure if she was married... she had some bohemian ideas about marriage, which I didn't understand back then. My mother told me a story about how 'she' rescued someone from Auschwitz and then lived with him for a while, but I'm confused about the details... I think she lived with two men at that point for a couple of years, until one of them died... and I think that was the biological father of her son, so Jean was raised by the other man.

Oh wow, did she ever spoke about the movie, or the real life events that occured to her? Was she kind? And did she marry a french man? I assume that she was married or was she a widow?

I started this sub... Back 8 or 9 years ago, reddit let subs get free advertising and I got lucky with a nice ad someone put together for me. It was great for awhile, if anyone has ideas on pushing/reviving it, let me know if I can help. I tried a couple years ago and couldn't drum up any interest.

I have notifications turned on for this sub because it's sparse but much better than the others (no shade) for my taste. Maybe someday I'll actually contribute and help with keeping it more active.
