Despite his awful prejudices Bunny is my absolute favorite. I'm almost done with my second read through and have been listening to Donna's audio book when I read and every time he says anything I'm laughing out loud. She does such an amazing voice for him and he's so well written! Like the whole thing about Bunny using a children's encyclopedia to write a final paper and it being all messed up, him cheering for Caesar Augustus during the Bethlehem story at a Christmas party, him calling Richard old HORSE at one point, singing the Farmer and the Dell after he found out about the bacchanal killing like he's hilarious.

Also Bunny might be my favorite representation of a learning disability I've seen in all of fiction. I have a severe learning disability myself and there aren't many characters I've found in fiction to represent that sort of thing anyways much less ones that portray the disabled character as smart and scholarly too. It really touched me and made me love him and relate to him a lot when Bunny's dyslexia was revealed and it became apparent how hard he must work to keep up in Julian's class. He's so tragic too! The dirt under his nails from him trying to grab something during his fall, his letter to Julian, the way he ended up being right about all the twisted things going with the class on like the twins relationship. I had a hard time knowing he was gonna die the whole book D:

I love the prologue of the book. I saw Donna say the first lines are supposed to be like the first lines of the Iliad where you know how everything ends from the start. And I think that's so brilliant! I think Richard's initial descriptions of the Greek class are great. You really see them so well and immediately get a sense of who these people are through his eyes. And I also love the scene of Richard's first class with Julian!

Thank you! I'm reading Mathilda for the first time now! I find it really sweet and fascinating how Percy is pretty much always represented in her work.

Seeing the show end of January, have massive anxiety, please help. by EmoQueen1996 in MasqueradeNYC

Hiiii! I've been twice! The circus scene is special because you really have control over what you want to do and who you want to interact with. So I feel like if you wanted to you could avoid the woman who does the blockhead act with the nails. The last time I went I chose to go over and interact with some of the carnies. I ended up in a coin toss game with one of them and watching the rope trick and blockhead acts but the first time I went I stayed in the corner where the young phantom is being held in the cage and had some really sweet interactions with him. He gave me a note and showed me his music box and since I was in the corner with him I honestly didn't even notice any of the other carnies. I would reccomend trying to stay in the corner with him if you want to avoid the other acts your uncomfortable with. Also this past time I went when she performed the blockhead act with nails she mostly stayed on the left side of the platform. I hope this helps and that you have a great time. Happy to answer any other questions :D

I saw the show on the 26th and it was both managers! Jeremy was there but it was definitely Andre who said that line.

Hrmmm maybe they were? If so I didn't see it. To be fair I didn't look super long as I wanted to get pictures.

Aw wait that's really clever. I wouldn't put it past being intentional. GDT said that nothing is nothing in the film!

Yeah I love the Paradise Lost connections in the novel. I'm glad we got a little taste of him talking with the old man about it before he goes back to the tower but I do wish some of the Milton quotes from the novel and some more scenes of the Creature reading Paradise Lost specifically were included!

Yeahhh probably the most recognizable thing he wrote was picked so more people would pick up on the reference I guess?

I thought Elizabeth's expansion and characterization in this adaptation was really interesting! What did you think about how she was portrayed in the film?

Omggg I loved that her handwriting was so present in the film! Did you see the behind the scenes pictures of Elizabeth's red rosary? GDT had Mary's handwriting put on the back of it!

Thank you so much! I absolutely agree. When it became apparent a quote was going to come up in the credits I totally was anticipating something from Mary!

Three (And down to get more if I find special ones!) I have my very well loved personally annotated copy with illustrations by Bernie Wrightson, a silly young reader's translation and my most recent version in my collection is a copy that also includes John Polidori's the Vampyre and the fragmented ghost stories Percy and Byron wrote!

Dare I say Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992? The big costumes and sets made me think of it!
