To be or not to be?

Prometheus or Zeus?
*Has anyone else read Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus or Prometheus Unbound By Shelley(which I was actually just reading a few nights ago)?
I also saw a performance of Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus a few months ago at university here.
...To be(what just happened?before the last question was about the languages???!!;)....
same question.....Prometheus or Zeus?
Prometheus :)
to answer you question, I didn't read any of them. I did read Aeschylus "Oresteia", a great tragedy. I wonder if I have Shelley's Prometheus Unbound on my Shelley compillation. Must check that out.
Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus?
....Frankenstein(but only because 1818-the year is was first published) is not considered to be "modern today";))
*You should difinately go and read Shelley's Prometheus Unbound if you have a copy there.It is a very personal piece of his.I was so moved by this work and it is universally considered to be Shelley's masterpiece.It can be an example of the regeneration of humanity through Love and Wisdom.It's in four acts and I especially like the part where Asia comes in Act I I(previously I had only read extracts from Asia-my soul is an enchanting boat, which like a sleeping swan doth float...) and is wanting to help and see Prometheus, her love, and where Domogorgon comes a little later from his cave.
Morpheus or Narcissus?
Narcissus
for the important lesson on vanity.
*I just checked and I DO have Promotheus Unbound. Now that just made my day :)

Mathematics -- or -- physics? :brow:

holidays on a desert in Africa or in icy Arctic??
Yikes, tough one! I could never survive in either, but probably stand a better chance in the icy Arctic. :nod:
Living in an old, antique house -- or -- a brand new house?
An old house they have a feeel about them you know? Id say ghosts but I dont mean that I mean the ghost of emotion you know??

I know exactly what you mean; most old houses have a character that one cannot find in most newer houses, without a ridiculous amount of customization.Quote:

writing style or novel's plot?
(I mean there are some novels in which plot/idea is beautiful but the author's style is not good. But what will you prefer. Do you think a good plot is more important than author's writing syle)
definitely the writing style. the style can make me love the book or hate it. :D
getting wet with friend on a rainy hot day or having a picnic with friends on a dry sunny day.
Writing style. Though books with perfect writing style and no plot can be an endurance, books with a good plot but bad writing style are an even larger endurance.
Neverland or Wonderland? :D
Neverland wonderland was just plain scarry
Persuasion or Lady Susanna??
Persuasion, I guess...
Cyberspace or outer space?
Outer space sounds much more worth exploring; cyber space has a great limit compared.

In this forum: general chat ar reading chat? :D
Both for their own reasons: 'reading chat' seems more the reason why I joined the forum, for feeling passionate about literature, but 'general chat' just seems often amusing.
'Poems, Poets, and Poetry' section -- or -- 'Personal Poetry' section?
Well, it really depends whether anyone has posted a new poem or not.If there is no new poems added, then I have to choose the other section, which I really like anyway.:)

one blue rose... I don't know if blue roses have any meaning but I like the colour, it's not usual for a rose... :p

Reading by the fire on a cold night, as too warm of weather tends to distract me and make me uncomfortable.
