Sub Rosa

I haven't touched this subject for at least two months as other modules were pending.  I now find myself having to recap what I did and even though I have 2,982 words (with some of it missing - which worries me a bit). I am focusing on The Robber Bridegroom and The Bloody Chamber, but will throw in a bit of Dickens' Captain Murderer (his was really good!) and maybe some others enroute.  Tomorrow will be about making notes on the stories chosen.

As of tomorrow, I will have 11 days left.  Somehow, I will have to fold some of my IAS around that time, possibly when I get bored of Bluebeard and need to plod on with something else.  Re the IAS portfolio, the stories have been written, but need adjusting, before they are dispatched with and a 2,000 word reflective commentry written.  Right now, I have to make the mini dissertation my focal point.

As I will be CONSTANTLY writing about Bluebeard, it would be very difficult to keep finding appropriate pictures, not to mention that it would be rather disconcerting to have grisly depictions of a murderer across LJ - so I will at least try to break up the horror effect by posting moons/castles or whatever.

I have written a miserly 200 words today, which quite frankly is Not A Lot.  I don't want to be caught up in the retelling of the story; more that I want to understand how history affected literature.  My PP well documented back in november will assist me.  OK - I maybe gone for some time (well, actually to the supermarket to get pancake mix for Shrove Tuesday).

635 words, mostly inspired by my PP from November.  I need to sew more detail in, though.  My Michel Focault books on The History of Sexuality 1,2 & 3 have arrived and I have it on authority that I will have the Maria Tartar book and the Jacques Lacan book too.
