You're blind to the corruption in your life, You mock my blindness? Let me tell you this. I don't need Creon to speak for me in public. “You are the king no doubt, but in one respect,Īt least, I am your equal: the right to reply. The Oedipus Cycle: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone ![]() In fact, we expect to be shown that he is in some way responsible for what happens to him.” Edgar Hoover, they are “raw files.” But it is the function of great art to purge and give meaning to human suffering, and so we expect that if the hero is indeed crushed by a bulldozer in Act II there will be some reason for it, and not just some reason but a good one, one which makes sense in terms of the hero’s personality and action. They are crude, undigested, unpurged bits of reality-to draw a metaphor from the late J. Even though life is often like this-the absconding cashier on his way to Nicaragua is killed in a collision at the airport, the prominent statesman dies of a stroke in the midst of the negotiations he has spent years to bring about, the young lovers are drowned in a boating accident the day before their marriage-such events, the warp and woof of everyday life, seem irrelevant, meaningless. “If through no fault of his own the hero is crushed by a bulldozer in Act II, we are not impressed. ![]() ![]() ![]() England cannot afford to go into a Test with a bowler’s health in question, especially with Ben Stokes handicapped by his knee injury. We should have taken him at face value then and England would gladly grab that if offered now.īut he would have to prove his fitness in a four day game for Sussex first, bowling two or three spells in a day, because it is backing up the overs that proves a bowler’s fitness, and then doing it again in the second innings. ![]() It was always optimistic to believe he would be fit for much of the Ashes and Archer himself said in March he would be happy to play in just one game. This is bowling four overs in T20, and not in one go either, and with several days rest in between as well. Archer is returning from the IPL so England can keep a closer eye on him because it turns out “pushing through the discomfort whilst recently playing, hoping it will settle, has proven challenging.” Such is the rarity of pace in English cricket that every Jofra Archer injury update is projected with deeper meaning and inevitably the latest is cast in an Ashes light. ![]() ![]() ![]() Get a free root beer float on your birthday by joining the Mug Club.

This is one of the many things I enjoy about the genre as both reader and writer, especially when tired tropes become new as the genre expands to better represent the diversity of the world we live in. Romance introduced me to new tropes to learn and love, and what’s really neat, for me, is how romance authors embrace-and frequently invert, or play on expectations of-tropes. ![]() Then I got into romance and discovered a genre with all that deliciousness plus a focus on the development of romantic and/or sexual relationships – and go-to-the-ends-of-earth love with kissing on top. And I grew to recognise the signs of some of my favourites. Off the top of my head, that gives us narrative and character tropes like magical orphans, alternate timelines, alternate worlds, poor kid does good, band of brothers, rich guys are jerks, found family… It’s a rich bounty, is what I’m saying. I read a lot of fantasy and historicals when I was a kid, so if you imagine a world somewhere between Chrestomanci and Sharpe, that’s where I grew up.
