![]() Orgon, then, seems to be a man of extravagant excesses who never steers his course along a rational, middle course, but instead, fluctuates between absurd extremes. In contrast, when he discovers the hypocrisy of Tartuffe, he reverses himself and determines to hate and persecute all pious men. Having once adopted a life of piety, Orgon tries to become the epitome of the pious person and goes to absurd extremes both in his words and deeds. Orgon's religious fanaticism, however, seems more directly correlated to his basic nature, which is characterized by Cléante as being extravagant and uncontrolled in all respects. Many scenes in the play ridicule the type of character who can no longer participate successfully in society and who then retires from society and attacks it. Some critics have suggested that Orgon, having reached middle age, now needs to attach himself to some type of a religious person and Tartuffe is the most readily accessible. The question, therefore, arises as to why he has become such an absurd and ridiculous person. It is indicated that prior to the opening of the play, he was a sane man who was respected by his family and friends. In the past he obviously had served the king honorably and had tended to his estates in a rational and dignified manner. ![]() Whereas Tartuffe is the obvious hypocrite and scoundrel, Orgon is a much more complex character. ![]()

The Historian is a (long) historic novel about a 16-year-old girl living in Amsterdam in 1972, the young girl finds an ancient book in her father’s library. Hopefully more info on the flick will come in soon. So far there isn’t any solid info on the film, only that it’s planned. The Historian came out a few years ago and became a huge hit right off the bat, so making it into a movie isn’t a bad move judging on how big its fan base is. Movie rumors, you gotta love ‘em right? Well the latest vampire movie rumor is that the immensely popular book, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, is being made into a movie. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, i'm a little biased on this one since i'm one of the 100 artists who were part of this project! But not really! Read on! the idea of serious and tortured solo "genius"). I like the approach to art, even among adults, as play, as collaboration (vs. I liked the "accordion" book construction, fun. I liked the concept and the idea of art-as-game more than how this actually worked out. I liked the q and a with some of the participating artists that opens the book. You get what you get, and the process is the point. I think I might have preferred more continuity in this particular occasion, because the effect is a little jarring, and the quality of the art varies widely, but if you are playing Telephone or Exquisite Corpse, part of the fun is the surprise, I guess. This particular 100 artist occasion seems more like the latter, where connections between pieces are not so obvious, where there are a variety of styles. ![]() Or you could just invite artists with a range of aesthetic approaches and it could get crazy. As one can imagine, if you ask artists to do this who are aesthetically in sync, everything could be very consistent overall. The idea is to build on what little you are given. A book based on The Exquisite Corpse game, wherein like "Telephone," an artist builds each new entry on only the last entry he or she can look at and respond to. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can hear the music in my ears, smell the cigarette smoke and taste the alcohol in between my lips. ![]() Reading this book had me envisioning this awesome book on screen.
