This week we read a lot of poetry in my Auden course.
Specifically, we read T.S. Elliot's Four Quartets and that is
something that really stood out to me because he specifically made Indian Epic
references. For my last story and addition to my portfolio, I am planning on
doing something in the last and final realm of the Inferno where Patrick will
meet the devil himself. I'm not sure what stories or who I will use yet, but
there are a lot of great material from the past four authors that I might
incorporate all into one big medley of an adventure. I am thinking I will use
the image of the devil chewing on three traitors, and have one of them be Faust
from Goethe's Faust. Then perhaps for the other two traitors I
might include Richard Wagner and Zarathustra? I am not too sure where I want to
go with the the whole descending into the last part of the Inferno yet.
However, for my story for next week, I think I
will take to the part where Arjuna fights Karna and Karna forgets the words to
summon his ultimate weapon. I think I could really do a medley with that and
have God be Krishna who gives advice to one of the characters (maybe T.S.
Elliot) as he fights against... somebody. Anyways, there is a lot of great
stuff that is coming up and I am really excited to take this last story to
finish! Also, I think I will end the adventure with a twist as well from Dante’s
ending and instead of having Patrick black out and wake up out of hell, I might
just have the devil pick Patrick up and eat him. That would be really
interesting and I think would be kind of funny as well!
