My question this week is brief—or less long winded than usual. (edit: actually, not really)
Why all the horror?
Yes, I read the short story for class in my bed in the middle of the night and was properly unnerved: shadow women in walls, your closest family refusing to believe you, everybody creeping and then creeping some more... freaky enough, especially in the dark.
But if this is piece is such a cornerstone of feminist literary, as Kolodney and the others alluded in their essays, why do adaptations tend to favor everything BUT the feminism?
I guess the lens is still applicable in the movies—John is probably made to be a jerk. But the trailers (of course I watched the trailers) don't seem to offer much else other than John worrying over his wife as she goes utterly, frighteningly insane.
Or are we as a society not ready, or unwilling to make feminism overt?
I'm too tired at 12:20am ish to figure out a proper meme that relates to the subject. Here's a funny Star Wars meme anyway.
The brief Drake and Josh/Prequel meme crossovers were great, I highly recommend you guys peruse some
