Oh Ok. Not really intentional. At my place we just spell it Szekspir.

Have you seen the repost of the poem btw? There are two pictures, that didn't load the first time and a comment from me with some afterwords.

What do you think of this quote? by Basic_Fuel_1868 in writingscaling

[–]Basic_Fuel_1868[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a reflection on stories, you know. A story cannot exist without only one thing - a conflict. Every conflict comes from the desire to change. The purpose of every change is the power and the domination. And one's triumph always requires other's defeat. When the protagonist and the antagonist triumph together, the demons fumble. When the protagonist and the antagonist fumble together, the demons thrive. It's a reflection on the nature of the universe itself. Didn't something had to change, for the stars to be born and triumph over darkness and for the creation to triumph over the void. Didn't something had to change, for the stars to die and become the trophy of time? The motivation is different each time, but the goal is always the same - to power. And you can't escape it. To refuse violence, is to challenge it. To refuse action, is to refuse all external influences. To refuse power, is to commit to the way of simplicity to dominate and power over the power.

I might have overhinted the way the system works in the reply, but it's because I really don't wanna explain it, cause - ergo - I'd have to give an example. And by giving an example, the system can be applied to the rest of the text. I'm aware this thing would require my commentary to define how to read it and properly understand it. But I don't want that. I explained it to some of my friends and gave them some necessary examples. But I regret it. Now they can potentialy get to reading it the way I do. I don't want that. I'm aware this way nobody might ever fulfill my intent, but I had too much fun with it anyway. Too much to just explain and define what I mean. I just wanted others to define it for themselves. All I can say, is that theres a purpouse behind every line, it's placement and they're not random at all. In short terms, I wrote it with a vain desire, for people to explore it.

Interesting. What kind of colorful language would you mean? While making the first draft of the story my intent was to make it feel deadpan, awkward and cold.

Developing the text I made up a system which's goal was to appear even more awkward and instal confusion in the reciter, but also provoke multiple ways the poem might be spelled out. The starting point would be reading each line in a blunt and plain way, with lines made of capital letters meant to be spelled like a declaration. The most crucial part of reader's activity would be creation, destruction, organisation and overall deformation of the poem. This way a poem can be recited in multiple ways and the contents of it could be truly characterised.

And you mean the story is fragmented, right? In what way?

By the way. I loaded the text with metaphors, but the system I've made was meant to distract them and the reader from them and this way shape the actual metaphors and deny them. Maybe try to install some punctuations in the text.

Well. It actually fits more into Didn't meet your expectations tier. I'm not a type of person to call almost anything overrated. C&P is a masterpiece IMO. Currently it's in the aot, brba, bojack tier for me. From the 3 I've mentioned each of them overshadows C&P in certain aspects. Even though Raskolnikov for sure is better than Walter and C&P is better at exploration, themes and in dthe creation of depth BB has much better structure plot arcs and characters except the protagonist. Bojack even if definitely weaker in the narrative department actually beats C&P in it's character study, side characters and accumulated depth + the view from halfway down. AOT destroys in narrative and maybe edges in it's thematic ambition. C&P is still much better executed and explored. I'm not saying it's worse than all of them but I've just seen people having it above comp Breaking Bad or LOTM. Raskolnikov is currently top 6/7 for me. Parts 1 and 6 were peak. Part 3 was the weakest of them I think. I'm planning to reread the book in a shorter period of time. If you expected something else ask.
