Often very. I think my family members don't necessarily want to hear every single mistake I notice in translations (of English language movies/series).Originally Posted by Lykren
I'll have to repeat this one (can't think just now who it'd be for me): Character from a book who you most identify with?
Oh thanks for the spoiler alert, man. Now I'm not reading it.
Natasha was hot.
Her or Kitty? Andrei or Levin, if someone who likes guys suddenly pops in.
Haha, and yes, I'm sure Natasha was plenty sexy, though maybe not so much as Helene Kuragin.
Natasha over Kitty and Andrei way over Levin (sorry to all you romantic, misogynist, pastoral, landowner, Tolstoyans but I do not love Levin).
Greatest single character in Russian literature?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Laptev. No, actually, Levin from what I've read.
Greatest character in French lit?
Haven't read much but I like Enjorlas from Les Miserables and Frollo from Notre Dame.
Emma Bovary or Anna Karenina?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Anna duh. (EDIT: though are either really likeable?)
Read Proust, Clopin.
Clytemnestra or Medea?
Haha I love both, but Medea for sure.
The house of Atreus or the Oedipus family?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Atreus.
What is wrong with me, why can't I stop listening to K-Pop and start reading again?
Myrrha or Oedipus? Also what do you think of the Ted Hughes renditions of Ovid if you have read them?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
I haven't read them. Myrrha, goddesses over kings.
Answer my question! It's urgent dude.
Pierre does get the girl in the end though, instead of uh... dying.
And Lykren I can answer that after you tell me why I can't stop playing melee and get to reading.
You should check out the Hughes' translation/imagining, I really liked it, his Myrrha was a high point for me.

Which character is your favorite to play? Maybe choose one that is somehow more literary than the others? Also video games are instantly rewarding and literature takes time to absorb so the former is more tempting of course. Same with K-Pop. We should grow up.
I exclusively play Marth who is already the most aesthetic, literate, poetic and stylish character.

Christ the guy playing Marth in that vid is good, even I can tell. No compunctions about jumping off the side and doing battle in unsupported midair, is that a common thing at top level?
