Okay, OP, let's get crazy. I promise you at the end of all this I will not ask you if you hate homosexuals, I promise. I will ask you a couple other questions that I feel are more important, so stay with me as I stayed with you on your explanation.

You believe homosexuality is a sin because the bible tells you so, well in that case, I hope you are prepared to defend why the hell you as a woman are on tumblr at all! You should keep your mouth shut when men are around and comport yourself accordingly! As your bible says:

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.1 Timothy 2:11-12

And don't think you're off the hook for preaching to the apostasy and the non-believers, because that's also a no-no. There could be a man among your followers or casual perusers of your blog and you could potentially teach them something:

Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. "And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church."1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Also, where the hell is your husband in all this? Shouldn't you be in the kitchen preparing dinner for him, and doing all that he asks. As god says, he has authority over you and you should submit to him!

"Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church, his body. 24 And so wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ."

I hope you are also prepared to advocate the following for young girls and women: they must marry their rapist, polygyny should be standard practice and enshrined in law, and they must be prepared to to have your religious vows (and in this case legal vows as well, considering the institution) annulled if your dad just really hates your husband.

Don't believe this is all in your bible? How about this excerpt from The Marginalization of Women by Christopher Rollston that summarizes some of the worst of the misogyny inherent in the text: "An unmarried woman could be compelled to marry her rapist, as long as the rapist could pay the standard bride price and the woman’s father was comfortable with the marriage (Deuteronomy 22:28–29). Polygyny (a man having multiple wives at the same time) was not condemned, but was an accepted and legal custom (Deuteronomy 21:15–17; Genesis 4:19–24; and 2 Samuel 3:2–5). A woman’s religious vow could be nullified by her father or her husband (Numbers 30:3–15)."

That seems a little bit more complicated than the 'this woman is yours, this man is yours, go nuts' formula you used before. It's more like 'this man is like god, these women (and all women, whether they consent or not) belong to the man legally and socially, go nuts (but only the men)'. But that hardly matters, it was inevitable you would be wrong and sinful because you're a woman! For as we all know, the bible says:

“For Adam was formed first, then Eve, and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor” (1 Timothy 2, vv. 13–14).

And the only cure for you is being pumped full of babies: as a woman "will be saved through childbirth, if she remains in faith and love and sanctification with modesty" (1 Timothy 2:15)

But perhaps you have accepted your sinful, weak nature and those admonitions to women don't do it for you. How about we take a look at the book of Leviticus, where you so helpfully get your prohibition against homosexuality ("You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." Leviticus Ch. 18 verse 22. or if you prefer: "If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." Leviticus Ch. 20 verse 13). But Leviticus is a big book, let's see what else is forbidden:

Reaping to the very edges of a field (19:9); Holding back the wages of an employee overnight (19:13): Cross-breeding animals (19:19); Sleeping with another man’s slave (19:20) (slavery is notably NOT forbidden in this book, a bit of an oversight by god); Eating fruit from a tree within four years of planting it (19:23) Trimming your beard (19:27) Cutting your hair at the sides (19:27) Getting tattoos (19:28) Giving your children to be sacrificed to Molek (18:21) (arguably this is a good law, but who the hell is Molek and where did he come from?) Turning to mediums or spiritualists (19:31) Not standing in the presence of the elderly (19:32) Cursing your father or mother (punishable by death, bit of an overreaction) (20:9) Blasphemy (punishable by stoning to death, why so specific?) (24:14) Selling an Israelite as a slave (foreigners are fine) (25:42) ah, there we go, it does say something about slavery I apologize. Only foreigners can be slaves which is a but unlucky for all us gentiles.

Now I can't wait for your long-winded, incredibly stupid defence of your frankly immoral decision to reap to the edges of the field. I'll be here, waiting, until you're ready to defend yourself!

Or, you could just give it up and admit that you don't care what 99% of what the bible says. You have chosen to pick this one passage from this one book of the bible and use it as a way to call all those who are homosexual immoral and abominations in the eyes of god. You have not chosen to do the same with those who curse their father or cut their hair at the sides or get tattoos or sacrifice their children to Molek (a joke, stay with me). So don't tell me or anyone else that you got this knowledge from god. You chose this to be true because it aligns with your values just like how most of the laws above simply don't, so you choose not the follow them. Why should the prohibition against homosexuality still hold water outside of bronze age Palestine when the name of Molek has faded into obscurity? Where do you get the right to claim you are such a supporter of gay people that you drool at any Ian McKellen impression, but put his love for his husband on the same level as beastiality and incest for what appears to be an arbitrary reason?

Usually when I compare something to beastiality I don't mean it as a shining compliment, but you have already covered why you love gay people with all your heart so I won't rehash. Rather than whether you hate gay people, how would answer the questions posed above? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no one is free from criticism for that opinion. And just to pre-empt the whining, this is a public forum, you post at your own risk, if you don't care to debate, don't respond.

Do you just not like gay people? I'd rather you just say the quiet part out loud so I can block you

With all due respect, Anon, I fail to see what this has to do with Lord of the Rings.

Oh, but you’ll probably want a serious answer, tho. Very well. I mean, I’d rather talk about any number of more interesting things than sex—like walnuts, or toenail clippings, or watching paint dry, or perhaps the consistency of squirrel droppings—but in the interest of making my own stance clear, and answering the questions that I’m sure have hovered unasked in the minds of many of my followers, I will provide the most kind and thorough answer that I can.

But I’m still putting it under a read-more, because, as aforementioned, it has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings.

The short answer is no. No, I don’t dislike gay people. I’m sure most of my follower count identifies as gay, or somewhere along that spectrum, and y’all have been lovely ever since I began this blog. To be fair, I know more than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve, but so long as you’re nice to me and leave fun interactions on my artwork, I like you plenty. If that’s satisfactory to you, good!

Because the long answer is more complicated.

Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner

The first thing we must do is define the difference between “liking someone” and “approving of what they do”. If you’ve been anywhere near most Christian circles—or just listened to Hamilton—you’ve probably heard the phrase “hate the sin, love the sinner”. That phrase applies here. I have religious reasons for believing that the lifestyle of homosexuality is wrong, but I don’t harbor ill will towards the people who practice it. There’s a difference between disliking a person and disapproving of their actions.

I don’t approve of smoking. I think it hurts people. That doesn’t mean I hate people who smoke. On the contrary, I care about them, and I would rather they don’t get lung cancer and breathing problems later in life, so I would urge them to quit smoking.

I don’t approve of gambling. I think it hurts people. That doesn’t mean I hate people who gamble. On the contrary, I care about them, and I would rather not see them form an addiction that squanders away all their money to an uncaring corporation, leaving them poor and unhappy—or just as bad, winning the jackpot, and then being rich and unhappy—so I would urge them to quit gambling.

I don’t approve of any and all forms of self-harm. It hurts my heart. I watched my best friend go through a long period of depression and self-harm, and it utterly broke me, that someone I loved would have to cause themselves external pain in order to get a reprieve from the pain they felt inside. I didn’t hate my friend. No, no, no, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I loved my friend more than my own life, ached for them, and wished more than anything they’d stop this thing that was hurting them, because I couldn’t stand watching a sickness slowly torture someone that I dearly, dearly loved (and still do).

In the same way, I believe in a loving God who made us, knows us inside and out and front and back, loves us deeply, and wants what’s best for us. He once said, “The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and life abundantly”. I believe that, in His wisdom and kindness, He left us a Book of instructions on how to find that life. He laid out the road to that destination—the straight and narrow path—and He said, “Just follow Me, and I’ll get you there. I’ve put up guard rails along the way where there are pits by the side of the road.”

And I said, “What if I fall in?”

And He said, “Just turn around and take My hand. I’ll pull you out.”

If you’d known someone all your life, and they’d always proven themselves worthy of your trust, you’d believe them when they said “this is the right way that will lead you to safety, and that is the wrong way that will lead you into danger”. So it is here. He outlined, very clearly, in His Book, what is the sexual ethic for which He designed us. Contrary to popular belief, there’s actually a lot of freedom within that ethic; He basically said, “Lady, here’s your man, and mister, here’s your lady. Now you promise to be good and loyal to each other and take care of one another forever? Yes? Great, the rest is yours, have fun, kids.” The Bible actually has very little to say about sex as long as it’s in the right context. But anything outside of that context—including homosexuality, beastiality, incest, fornication, adultery, lust for someone other than your partner, etc.—is a pit by the side of the road, a bug and not a feature.

So you see that I have religious reasons to disapprove of homosexuality. I have been told—by Someone I trust more than my own judgment—that it is outside His planned parameters for the world. But this does not mean I automatically dislike those who do not share my faith and convictions. I can believe they’re in the wrong without disliking them.

To put it simply, “I don’t like what you’re doing” DOES NOT EQUAL “I don’t like you”. I’d urge you to keep that in mind; it’s a good life lesson in general.

So now that we’ve established that baseline, let’s look at how it applies to this blog.

The Rep Sheet of Frodo-With-Glasses

Now, of course I’m a biased party, by nature of being the defendant in this trial (and my own lawyer LOL), but I think you’ll find that a fair and honest analysis of everything on this blog will reveal that I never even once expressed disdain for gay people.

I’ve made it very clear where I stand on shipping through disclaimers on my art. I don’t ship Frodo and Sam, or Legolas and Gimli, etc. But to jump from that to “you must not like gay people” is like saying that because I don’t ship Romanogers in the MCU that I must hate Russians.

I have repeatedly expressed that I see my own friendships reflected in the friendships in LotR. For that reason, they’re very important to me, and I feel no need to interpret them as anything else. To jump from that to “you must not like gay people” is like saying that because I am perfectly content with plain vanilla ice cream, I must have a personal vendetta against chocolate fudge.

I have posted a disclaimer setting expectations for a passage I knew could be interpreted very differently. I expressed my own understanding of the nudity involved, and asked that my followers please have the decency to respect my interpretation of the story, with a few tongue-in-cheek jokes to lighten the mood. To jump from that to “you must not like gay people” is like your high school English Literature teacher giving an F on your perfectly formatted and well-argued paper just because your interpretation of the blue window curtains doesn’t match the one in the textbook.

I have engaged in polite discussion with an anon who complimented my art. When the discussion came to “immoral relationships” between the characters, my response was to celebrate friendship. All I have ever done on this blog was celebrate friendship. I have never insulted gay people, I have never called them slurs or hateful names, I have never even confronted anyone who tags my art as ship art against my wishes. All I have ever done was try to be civil and polite and celebrate friendship.

Have you ever considered, Anon, that I have been silent for a reason? That “the quiet part” has stayed quiet on purpose? That, perhaps, I did not come here to police my following and force my views upon them, but simply to celebrate a book that I love, and invite people of all stripes to come and celebrate it with me, if they so wish?

Have you considered that, if I disliked gay people, I could block every single one of my followers who express such views on their profiles? I didn’t get to over 800 followers on tumblr, of all websites, by policing those who are allowed to interact with my blog. I didn’t cultivate the community I did by shutting down people I disagree with.

I am here to entertain myself. I have always been here to entertain myself. I was doing it before there were 800 of you, and I will be doing it long after this blog is gone. Whether or not you would like to join in with me is entirely your prerogative.

You wanna see how much I hate gay people? You wanna see how far the vitriol goes? Watch this! Sir Ian McKellen is a fantastic actor and seems like a splendid person in real life. No one else could possibly be Gandalf the way he is. To see his face on the screen when I watch Peter Jackson’s trilogy makes me feel warm and fuzzy and happy inside, because I feel like I’m looking into the kindly eyes of an old friend. I enthuse over it every time Phil Dragash manages to perfectly replicate McKellen’s iconic cadence in his audiobook, because it’s like hearing the Gandalf I grew up with speaking the real words on the page. Sir Ian McKellen’s contribution to the fandom, and to the community surrounding Lord of the Rings, is invaluable and irreplaceable. Middle Earth would be a lesser thing without him in it.

This is now a thing that is on my blog: enthusiastically singing the praises of the work of a gay man. His lifestyle choices, though I don’t agree with them, are separate from the mark he’s left on this fandom, and everything I could have to say about the latter category is positive.

So, now. Would you like to ask me that question again?

The Dismount

Here’s the TL;DR, in case I rambled on too long:

I do not, and will never, approve of the act of homosexuality. I have religious reasons for doing so; much the same, actually, as I believe Tolkien himself held.

I harbor no ill will towards gay people. No matter what you believe on this topic, you are welcome to continue interacting with this blog if you so wish. All I ask is what I ask of everyone who passes through here: Be kind and polite.

Your response is your prerogative. I have expressed what I believe is right, and I will not budge or apologize for it, but I’m not demanding that you agree with me. Heck, I can’t tell you to do anything, and even if I could, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not your mom. I’m not God. You don’t have to answer to me any more than I have to answer to you. How you choose to respond is your choice.

If that means you have to leave, that’s fine. I wish you all the best, and I hope you find what you’re looking for.

If you ever want to come back, I’ll still be here, talking about Lord of the Rings.

#everyone's invited to the homosexuality pit on the side of the road!#the problem with writing huge diatribes like this is that its easy to pick them apart #I should know i'm the queen of huge diatribes #christianity #theology #jesus freak indeed #anti-christianity #debunking claims #anti-religion #catholicism #anti-catholicism #religion

Driving Mr. Tovar Masterlist

Summary: Modern AU where Female Reader is hired by a kind rich man to drive his grumpy Spanish horse-handler around, as the man refuses to get a license. However, not much driving actually happens, as life on this estate is anything but predictable. (Slow-burn romance, hints of soulmate!au, with an unplanned magic twist towards the end.)

For Your Information:

Ratings will vary based on cursing, violence, smut and several other potentially sensitive subjects. See individual warnings on each chapter for more information.

Reader is not entirely featureless. She's described as a runner and has hair long enough to be put up into a ponytail. However, skin-color, hair-color or eye-color are not specified, and she is not described as having any particular religious belief.

On occasion, I will describe a character as looking pale, but this is not meant to say that all characters are white in skin-tone, as it is my experience that people of color can look pale too.

I never write using the y/n format.

I deeply appreciate all feedback, good and bad.

5th June: A game of alphabets is played

Read the post and comment on WordPress

Read: Vol. 3, ch. 5 [41]; pp. 225–230 (“He had walked up one day” to “solitude of Donwell Abbey”).

Context

Frank makes a “blunder” regarding Mr. Perry’s carriage. Emma, Harriet, Mr. Knightley, the Randalls’ party, Miss Bates and Jane Fairfax play a game of alphabets at Hartfield. John and Isabella Knightley’s children have by this time ended their visit at Hartfield (Mr. Woodhouse “lament[s] […] over the departure of the ‘poor little boys,’” p. 227).

This occurs one “evening” (p. 225) soon after the beginning of “June” (vol. 3, ch. 5 [41]; p. 224).

A Pembroke is a small drop-leaf table commonly used for tea, dining, and writing in the Georgian period. On the “modern circular table” (p. 227), Duckworth writes: “A nice touch this, when one recalls the dubious significance that is attached both to Marianne Dashwood’s wish to give Allenham new furniture in Sense and Sensibility and to Mary Crawford’s wish to make Thornton Lacey a “modern” residence in Mansfield Park. Why a round table should merit comment is perhaps best indicated in Barchester Towers where Archdeacon Grantly says: “A round dinner-table ... is the most abominable article of furniture that ever was invented” (chap. 21). For Grantly there is “something peculiarly unorthodox” in the idea of a round table, “something democratic and parvenue” (FN 30, p. 172).

Readings and Interpretations

Rank and Carriage

Frank Churchill, momentarily mistaking the source of his information, asks Mr. Weston about “‘Mr. Perry’s plan of setting up his carriage’” (p. 225). Robert Hume summarizes the economics of carriage-owning in late Georgian England thusly:

[John] Trusler opines that an income of £800 or more is necessary to support a carriage, expensive in itself and requiring horses, a coachman, fodder and stabling. The Adamses [Samuel and Sarah] say that the coachman will have to be paid 25–36 guineas per annum, plus two suits of livery and other garments (not to mention food and lodging) [appendix, p. 8]. In their view, an income of £1,000–£1,500 is the minimum on which keeping a carriage is economically sensible. (p. 56)

In this light, “Perry the apothecary presents a puzzle”:

The Cambridge editors [of the Cambridge edition of Emma] quote Irvine Loudon to the effect that a London GP might make £300–£400, a ‘provincial’ doctor £150–£200 (p. 373, n. 3). By implication, Perry is doing a lot better than even a London doctor, since he is considering ‘setting up his carriage’ (p. 373). This seems implausible. It might be a blunder, but Austen is not prone to such errors. Perhaps she is mocking Perry’s unrealistic pretensions. (ibid.)

John Wiltshire takes note of the health-related pretense for Mr. Perry’s ambition, arguing that it functions within the text to obscure these economic questions:

Mr Perry is […] a key reference in the distinctive sociolect of Highbury, a speech idiom which […] is much concerned with discussion of and enquiries about sickness and health. Highbury gossip interprets his purchase of the carriage, not as a sign of his prosperity, or of his social prestige, but in terms of his own ill health. ‘It was owing to [Mrs Perry’s] persuasion, as she thought his being out in bad weather did him a great deal of harm’ is Frank's recital of the gossip [p. 225]. Economic relations and social determinants are thus displaced or partially concealed by their redefinition as matters of health. […] Highbury remains oblivious to the political and social structures that are actually organising its world. […] All these inferences are tucked away in the midst of a narrative whose apparent enticement is to give a crucial clue about the romantic relation of Frank and Jane. Yet Mr Perry’s plural and eccentric position within the text helps at the same time to problematise the very questions of health and illness on which he is the deferred and obscured authority. (pp. 111–2)

Highbury’s Cassandra

After Frank attributes his question about Mr. Perry’s question to confusion resulting from a dream, Miss Bates at length manages to inform the company that such a plan did exist, though it was unknown to most. Regarding this incident, Joe Bray makes the familiar point that Miss Bates’s speech contains “hints” about the mysteries in Emma (p. 170):

The key clue here of course is not that Miss Bates herself had heard about the plan […]. Rather it is that someone else also knew: ‘“Jane, don’t you remember grandmamma’s telling us of it when we got home?”’ (375). Although Emma is ‘out of hearing’ […], Mr. Knightley has it seems heard enough to be suspicious, though his looking from Frank to Jane proves inconclusive.

[...] Miss Bates does not deserve to be dismissed as a caricature, a rambling speaker concerned simply with trivial local gossip. Her verbose, repetitive, often tedious speech conceals key clues as to the major secret in the novel, Frank and Jane’s attachment. A discerning reader who picks these up can stay one step ahead of the characters, even Mr. Knightley, who […] understands something of their relationship but does not see everything. Rather than knowledge being disseminated from a single, authoritative point of view then, the onus throughout Austen’s fiction is on the active role of the reader in piecing together an understanding of characters and relationships, just as the characters themselves are trying to do, in Emma’s case spectacularly unsuccessfully.

The way in which the reader is lured into such a dynamic engagement with the text in all of Austen’s novels casts further doubt then on the possibility of a dominant, totalizing perspective in her writing. Complete knowledge, or omniscience, on the reader’s as well as the narrator’s part, is not only impossible, but also not the point. Austen’s fiction repeatedly emphasizes instead the limitations of knowledge and the dangers, as well as the difficulties, of being certain about anything. There is no fullness of information to be attained as the reader reaches the conclusion of each of her works. Yet her style makes each journey endlessly rewarding. (p. 171)

When Miss Bates does speak, it is after “trying in vain to be heard the last two minutes” (p. 226). Her company’s unwillingness to attend to her may have as much to do with her speech patterns as with her situation, but Howard Babb argues that the two are not entirely separable:

Surely what in part motivates her to report so many facts and to speak so often of herself (even more than Jane does) is Miss Bates’s awareness that she and social authority have nothing at all to do with each other. In the following passage, we can see how quickly she backs up to “I” after her excitement has momentarily betrayed her into a decisive generalization: “if I must speak on this subject, there is no denying that Mr. Frank Churchill might have—I do not mean to say that he did not dream it—I am sure I have sometimes the oddest dreams in the world—but if I am questioned about it, I must acknowledge that there was such an idea last spring” [p. 226]. (p. 186)

In Your Dreams!

Some scholars comment on the resonance of Frank’s “dream” excuse with Emma’s textual concern with fantasy and imagination, noting the parallel drawn between Frank and Emma on this occasion. Per Laura Mooneyham, “[t]hat Frank’s ‘dream’ is but a cover for secrecy and deviousness reflects on Emma’s ‘dreaming’, her imaginative faculty, as well; in neither case is dreaming a morally neutral activity” (p. 122). There are, however, differences between how the two characters treat imagination: Colleen Sheehan writes that “[w]hile Frank dissembles and treats reality as a dream, Emma treats her dreams as reality. Her lively imagination is but a waking dream” (n.p.). Thus also Loraine Fletcher:

Frank’s dexterity as a plotter forms another comic parallel with Emma’s inventions. After his blunder in giving away his secret correspondence with somebody in Highbury […] he tries to attribute his knowledge to a dream. ‘I am a great dreamer’, he says, and the word recurs repeatedly in the next few paragraphs. Mr Weston associates dreamers with lovers when he rather coyly tries to advance the favourite Weston courtship fiction by suggesting that Frank and Emma dream of each other. But Frank is less of a dreamer than most people. His plots centre on keeping the heroine without losing the money, and he tells stories, but in the child’s sense of the phrase: he lies in every word he speaks. (p. 39)

A Game of Alphabets

The game of alphabets played in this chapter is a counterpart to Harriet’s riddle-book and Mr. Elton’s charade, and a preface to Mr. Weston’s conundrum on Box Hill; like Harriet’s portrait and Mr. Elton’s charade, the alphabets are physical objects that both invite and resist interpretation by different characters. Ashley Tauchert writes of the motif of games and interpretation in Emma:

Emma, when taken as a narrative message, is centred on a proliferation of encoded messages. Each message is both a material object—letter, word, instrument, ‘charade’, signifier—and its signification in a network of communication. The same thing can be said about the narrative text in which these messages appear. Harriet’s picture; Frank’s word games, imputed dream, and private correspondence; Jane’s mysterious pianoforte; Mr Elton’s charade—each concretise the narrative function of misdirection, misreception or misunderstanding of significant, but thoroughly ambigious, material. (p. 117)

Jillian Heydt-Stevenson similarly argues that Emma both includes and functions as a riddle or puzzle:

In Emma, the riddle works at the literal and metaphorical levels, helping constitute the novel’s larger meanings: people are charades, actual riddles appear and enigmatic situations emerge that we and the characters have to decipher. Why would Austen choose this brain-teasing genre for Emma? Perhaps because it provides a way to exercise one out of mental sluggishness and to examine the difficulty of knowing another. (p. 151)

It is typical to argue that such games in the novel represent some degree of childishness or an immoral befuddling of truth, taking Knightley’s disapprobation to be the narrator’s as well (see “The Charade”). Laura Mooneyham writes:

That this plot of Emma’s [the Jane / Dixon plot] is an immoral game is made clear when, under the watchful eye of Mr. Knightley, Emma and Frank play with the box of alphabets at Hartfield. […] The second set of letters is ‘Dixon’, which allows Emma and Frank to indulge themselves in sly laughter and which mortifies Jane. As Mr. Knightley, the distanced observer, perceives, ‘the letters were but the vehicle for gallantry and trick. It was a child’s play, chosen to conceal a deeper game on Frank Churchill’s part’ (p. 348). The letter game is yet another example of Emma’s abuse of language in her intrusions into the love affairs of others. (pp. 121–2)

Katrin Burlin builds on and complicates Alistair Duckworth’s understanding of games in Emma as “antisocial,” writing that it is how these games are played that upends standards of fair conduct, rather than the games per se:

[...] [A]s they are played in this novel, word games permit the player a greater degree of control than card games ruled by chance. As skill becomes a greater factor, ulterior ends threaten to rob play of its disinterestedness (Huizinga, p. 9). Detection of the element of false play is vital. Violating the rules of the anagrams game in their calculating play with “proper nouns” (like Emma in her matchmaking), Austen’s characters do play false. They manipulate the “alphabets” not to form and exchange mutually comprehensible words, but to communicate covertly, to break the circle of understanding. Pure play would actually support the “continuity of a public and ‘open’ syntax of morals and manners” Duckworth sees as vital to the preservation of culture (Duckworth, 1971, p. 165). For games are highly schematic, with fixed rules that demand general and absolute adherence. (p. 182)

Mr. Knightley is, of course, right to be suspicious of Frank’s motives: Frank “uses the game of alphabets to try to make Jane share his amusement at the near-miss” regarding Perry’s carriage (Selwyn, n.p.). His improperly played proper name DIXON is supposedly a covert dig at Jane that he participates in with Emma, but is in actuality a joke at Emma’s expense that he tries to engage in with Jane—who, either way, is mortified. Duckworth writes that “Churchill’s maneuvering is not only a quite voluntary danger to Jane’s reputation, but is also a cause of justifiable jealousy, as she sees Frank and Emma indulging in a kind of ‘courtship’ game” (p. 173).

The Unseen Seer, Redux

Conventional readings of Emma attribute some amount of prescience or omniscience to Mr. Knightley, taking him to be the proxy for the author in the text and holding that he represents the ability of the sober observer to neutrally discern reality. He arrives at the truth about Frank and Jane because he, unlike Emma the “imaginist,” is able to see them clearly. Paul Fry, for example, writes that Knightley’s “ease in guessing the truth about Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax is nearly equal to his ease in unjumbling the letters of the [alphabet] game”; “Emma, on the other hand, […] is not clear-sighted” (p. 132). David Medalie similarly panegyrizes Knightley’s “unusual perspicacity” (p. 8) and “exceptional discernment” (p. 9), writing that “[w]here almost all are blind, he sees”; he has the “objectivity” required to “unlock the secret and recognise the situation for what it is” (ibid.).2

Other readings, however, emphasize Mr. Knightley’s fallibility as a character among other characters, and point out that his suspicions about Jane and Frank in fact do not lead him to knowledge of what the real situation is. Joe Bray notes that this forms one of the “occasions on which Mr. Knightley is an observer throughout the novel” and “his observations are represented to the reader” (p. 25):

Mr. Knightley’s position at the round table […] gives him a privileged perspective; able apparently to see all that is going on, yet without appearing to spy (‘with as little apparent observation’). […] He is right of course to connect the word ‘blunder’ with Frank’s previous claim that his hearing of Mr. Perry’s plan of setting up his carriage ‘“must have been a dream”’ […]. As he reaches towards an understanding of Frank and Jane’s ‘decided involvement’, […] Mr. Knightley’s thoughts enter into the narrative in FIT. Thus it is his judgement that, for example, ‘these letters were but the vehicle for gallantry and trick’ […]. One of the few occasions in the novel when someone’s perspective other than the heroine’s is represented, this passage, and this chapter as a whole, begins to make clearer to the reader the connection between Frank and Jane, as it is clear that the observant Mr. Knightley is on the verge of discovering the truth.

Yet of course Mr. Knightley does not quite see everything here. However the places are arranged at the table, the fact that it is explicitly designated as round means no one person has a total perspective. When Frank prepares another word for Emma, Mr. Knightley […] is unable to make out the word itself until Frank passes it, against Emma’s advice, to Jane. […] Jane’s reaction [to the word “Dixon”] is immediately apparent: ‘She was evidently displeased; looked up, and seeing herself watched, blushed more deeply than he had ever perceived her’ [p. 228]. As an angry Jane and Miss Bates get up to leave the table Mr. Knightley ‘thought he saw another collection of letters anxiously pushed towards her, and resolutely swept away by her unexamined’ [ibid.], but he cannot make this word out and it remains undisclosed (as Richard Cronin and Dorothy McMillan note, there is an Austen family tradition that the word was ‘pardon’ [2005, p. 587]). From a broader, figurative perspective too, although Mr. Knightley certainly sees that there is some understanding between Frank and Jane, he is far from working out what exactly the nature of this is, or what lies behind it: ‘how it could all be, was beyond his comprehension’. (pp. 26–7)

For Bray, Knightley’s lack of objective knowledge is reflected in the narrative style of this passage:

[...] FID [free indirect discourse] allows for the continued presence of the narrator’s perspective, which casts doubt in this instance of FIT [free indirect thought] on both the completeness and the reliability of Mr. Knightley’s. The reader is thus invited to question the severity of his judgement of Frank, and the contrasting vehemence with which Mr. Knightley defends Jane. ‘How the delicacy, the discretion of his favourite could have been so lain asleep!’ introduces a potential tone of mock-heroism which may at the very least give the reader pause. The strident condemnation of ‘These letters were but the vehicle for gallantry and trick. […]’ is also at least slightly undercut by the continued narratorial perspective, as well as by the fact that earlier in the chapter it has been revealed that ‘Mr. Knightley, who, for some reason best known to himself, had certainly taken an early dislike to Frank Churchill, was only growing to dislike him more’ [p. 224]. Mr. Knightley certainly sees more than Emma as regards Frank and Jane […]. However his perception is not absolute, and is clearly biased by his dislike of Frank. He suspects the younger man of ‘some inclination to trifle with Jane Fairfax’ [ibid.] which is not entirely wrong, but still comes some way short of a full understanding of the relationship between them. For all his eagerness to observe, and his frequently being placed in a good position to do so, Mr. Knightley remains just another observer around the round table of Highbury society, whose perspective may be more accurate than that of others but is nevertheless in important ways not definitive. (pp. 27)

Mary Waldron also points out that Knightley in fact does not arrive at the “truth” of the relationship between Frank and Jane, and suspects only that some sort of “double-dealing” is taking place. She notes that, at this time, he does not know that Emma is not interested in Frank, which “misunderstanding renders Mr. Knightley both vulnerable and powerless”:

[H]e has to stand silently by while he watches (as he thinks) the girl he now loves give herself up to a shallow and insensitive man, in whom he shortly discovers evidence of even worse qualities. His attempts to warn her of Frank’s relationship with Jane fail, for, as the reader knows, they talk at cross-purposes. It is a mistake to conclude that Mr. Knightley here reaches the truth about Jane and Frank. The text makes clear that he is alarmed but mystified. He is quite oblivious to Emma’s regrettable fantasy about Jane and Mr. Dixon. Still convinced that Frank will marry Emma (after all, she has the money […]), Mr. Knightley believes that he is somehow manipulating both girls and that Emma’s chances of a happy and stable marriage are doomed. He speaks out of a sense of real concern at what he sees as her danger and is saddened to find that Emma remains in her usual relation to him; she flouts his warning as ridiculous, hinting at confidentiality between herself and Frank. Mr. Knightley naturally feels defeated […]. Their behavior toward each other, though their relationship is subtly changing, takes its usual form of attack and repulse. But this time the situation, at least for Mr. Knightley, is far more serious than their feud about Harriet Smith. His conviction that Emma will become the victim of such hollow flattery as Frank hands out is almost as perverse as Emma’s current chimera—that Frank will marry Harriet […]. (p. 153)3

Regardless of what Mr. Knightley is able to suspect at this point in the text, David Selwyn argues that the reader ought to be able to understand more:

Mr. Knightley connects the word [“blunder”], and the blush it produces in Jane, with the dream, but he cannot work it out. The reader ought to be able to, however, for it is the same word that Jane used of the post office [vol. 2, ch. 16; p. 193]. We should thus recall the importance to her of letters and realize that that is how Frank came to know of Mr. Perry’s carriage. It is only on a second reading that we are likely to be aware of this […]. But having noticed it and having understood not only that nobody there could make the connection, but that Jane Austen does not intend them to, we begin to see what she is doing: that the clue is entirely for our benefit and that once we have seen it we are made complicit in a game that she is playing directly with us, over and beyond her characters. And from that point we ought to be on the watch for further moves against us. (n.p.)

Discussion Questions

Why did Mr. Perry form and, to an extent, share, a plan to set up a carriage? Why would his wife attribute the plan to a concern for his health?

What is the motive behind the words that Frank constructs during the game of alphabets? Is he trying to apologize to Jane, share amusement with her, or taunt her? How is Jane feeling throughout this section?

Has Knightley discovered the truth about Jane and Frank? If so, how?

Sharp Arrows of the Mighty, with Coals of Juniper

Psalm 18 (17 LXX) (same prayer as found in 2 Samuel 22) is a beautiful synthesis of many biblical symbols and narratives, drawing and connecting them into the grand arc of God’s sustenance of the world through man. I am going to particularly focus on verses 7-16, but even just focusing on 9 verses there are countless concepts that go over my head, and I would love to hear what others learn from this poetic prayer. In Ps. 18:7-16 (2 Sam. 22:8-17) we find a synthesis of the 120th Psalm (119 LXX), Noah, the story of Jonah (particularly ch. 4), 1 Kg. 19, Is. 6, etc. Before we can establish the connecting point in this array of passages, we need to establish the sacramentality of the symbols present.

In the 120th Psalm we hear the cry of a mourning precant:

In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

The calling of Isaiah in Isaiah 6 uses language very reminiscent of this Psalm -- “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lip” (Is. 6:5). In both the Psalm and in verse 6 of the Prophet’s account we are given a solution to this false tongue / unclean lip:

Sharp arrows of the mighty with coals of Juniper / Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

To the Orthodox Christian these passages are evidently eucharistic -- the passage in Isaiah is referenced by the priest in the liturgy in reference to the eucharist, saying “Behold, this has touched our lips! This has washed away our iniquities!”. Further evidence for a eucharistic reading here can be seen in a holistic structure of Isaiah, with the calling of the prophet being a foreshadowing of what will happen to Israel/the world as a whole. What happens to Israel/the world as a whole? We see God’s holy mountain established in Isaiah 25:6 for all people. It is on this holy Mount that the LORD establishes a feast of wines, and He destroys the veil that is spread over all people. It is this mountain that draws the nations in, causing them to beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks (Is. 2:4) (note the eucharistic aspect of ploughshares [grain/bread] and pruning-hooks [grape/wine]). We are also told in Isaiah 66:20 that gentiles will bring a offering (minchah) unto the LORD. Minchah is the name of the tribute offering in Lev. 2 and Num. 15 and involves bread/wine (Note how in the old covenant nobody drinks the wine in the offering, but in the new covenant we must partake in the bread and wine / the body and blood of Christ).

In Is. 6:4 we read of door posts moving/shaking at the voice of God and smoke filling the atmosphere. We find very similar language in Ps. 18:7-8. Sg. 5 (v. 2) describes something similar to Is. 6 (v. 4) where the bridegroom knocks on the door, and the bride reaches out to answer with her fingers dripping in myrrh (myrrh as a symbol of death/burial). The love between the Bride and the Bridegroom is what draws the bride out of her chamber to seek for her bridegroom, resulting in her unveiling by the watchmen. What is this attractive love which draws the bride out other than the flame of YAH / שַׁלְהֶ֥בֶתְיָֽה / šal·he·ḇeṯ·yāh (sg. 8:6) -- the same flame of the eucharist. This same flame burned the coal that purged Isaiah’s iniquities -- the same flame that fans the rough wind in the day of the east wind by which the iniquity of Jacob be purged in Isaiah 27:8-9.

The same phrase for east wind is used in Jonah 4, describing a fierce, hot climate and is also used in Exodus 14 describing the baptism/passage of Israel from the old world into the new through the red sea. This reveals a deeper connection between the sacrament of baptism, wind, coals, fire and the eucharist. Jonah, having served in the courts of Jeroboam II knew of the wicked state of Israel -- and given Jonah’s obvious knowledge of the song of Moses he would have known idolatry and wickedness would lead God to make Israel jealous with the gentiles (Deuteronomy 32:21). This explains the mourning of the righteous and Holy Prophet under the (gourd?) plant in Jonah 4, which is reminiscent of the mourning of Moses over Israel in Exodus 32:30-34 and Numbers 11:12-15. The plant withered and the fiery wind of God raged, revealing the foundations of the world (Ps 18:15), the same wind which the Lord flies upon, bringing coals of fire and thick clouds of dark water (Ps. 18:8-11). The hebrew name Jonah, means dove and calls us back to the waters of Noah and the wind (Gen. 8:1) that caused the waters of the flood to subside, bringing Noah and the ark out of the deulge and exalting them to the Holy Mount with the help of the dove. All of these connections go to bring these different symbols and stories together sacramentally, ultimately culminating in the life and work of Christ.

[Note that Holy baptism is the ecclesial and personal recapitulation/participation in the sign of Jonah (Mt. 12:38-41), which is, on one hand the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ; but is also the procession of the divine presence to the gentiles and the whole earth with it’s ultimate reversion to the Holy Mount Zion in Is. 66.]

The special plant under which the Prophet prayed calls us back to the Juniper tree in 1 Kg. 19.

There are few times that Juniper trees are mentioned in scripture. Only one of these times (other than Psalm 120) are coals mentioned in the same context. 1 Kings 19, where right after speaking judgement upon Israel and demonstrating the power of God over false prophets (note connection to prophecies in Is. 1-5 and the story of Jonah) Elijah, declaring himself the only one left is called by the Angel of the LORD to anoint a threefold sword (Hazael, Jehu and Elisha) to whittle Israel down -- just as Isaiah’s prophetic calling was to make their ears heavy and shut their eyes, whittling Israel down to the one truly righteous intercessor: Christ (Note connection between Isaiah 6:8-13 and 1 Kg. 22:19-23) (also note the threefold whittling of Israel in Ezekiel 5 and the sacramental language of fire/famine/eating sword/arrow and wind/fury). Before Isaiah could participate in this calling he had to partake of the divine coal given to him by the seraph. In a similar manner: before Elijah could continue in his prophetic calling he had to eat of the Holy bread (which was cooked on coals -- interesting detail to include in the passage if there is no real significance to it) and drink the Holy water which sustained him for 40 days and nights. In Matthew 4:4, after Christ’s 40 days and nights in the wilderness, He refused demonic temptation, quoting Deuteronomy 8:3, saying: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. As we know from John 1, Christ is *THE* Word of God and as such it is only through Christ and through our assimilation into the divine Word that we can live, as anything outside of God’s mind is an infinite step towards non-existence (interesting to note the theme of 40 days and food throughout the scripture. See how Moses lived purely by the Word of God for 40 days [Exodus 34:28] and how after 40 days of wandering the scout of Numbers 13 returned to the camp bearing ripe fruits [vv. 21-25] as a symbol of Israel entering the promised land after 40 years of wandering). This means that, just like the manna which fed Israel for 40 years (exodus 16:35), what Elijah was given was not just bread and water but a divine foreshadowing of the true bread and the true drink, which is the body and blood of Christ (John 6).

We can see in Isaiah 27:1 the mighty sword that slays the leviathan; and we have the sharp arrows of the mighty (Ps. 120:4) which are used alongside the coals of juniper to deal with false tongues (note how the Hebrew root for “arrow”/ “archer” / “ חָצַץ” [Strong’s 2686] literally means “to divide”. It is related phonetically to the words qatsir [harvest] and qatsar [to reap, cut down]). What are arrows of the mighty other than children of the youth (Ps. 127:4) who have been born into the spirit in baptism (John 3, 1 Peter 1, Romans 6), who have become as little children (Mt. 18:3) desiring the sincere milk of the word (1 Pt. 2:3). Just as Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father is *the* chosen arrow of God (Is. 49:2), we are made sons and arrows of God by grace (1 Jn. 3:1). These arrows are scattered (Ps. 18:14) and fill everything (Eph. 1:23) for we, the Church, are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life, (2 Cor. 2:15-17).

[Side Note: Seraphim Hamilton, in his video on Michael Gorman’s Inhabiting The Cruciform God, explains that Christ was sent by the Father as the Word that shall not return void (Is. 55:11). I find Seraphim’s use of the language of arrows particularly interesting, as he explains that Christ’s work in the incarnation was to descend to and assume every aspect of creation into himself, in order that every arrow within every aspect of creation may point towards God through participation in the Logos. Contrast this to the wicked woman in Sirach 26 who will open her mouth as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her, by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow. (v. 12). This calls back to the serpent in Genesis 3 who is cursed to eat dust (dust meaning dead men [think: ...to dust ye shall return... ]). Similar to Sir. 26:12 is the description of the whore of Babylon in Rev. 17 who is drunken with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus Christ. Eating/drinking something is the most basic means of assimilating something into your being -- this is why the eucharist is the heart of the divine liturgy, it is how we are assimilated into Christ’s very being. This also explains the texts about Ezekiel and John eating the scrolls, and why Christ spits the lukewarm church in Laodicea out of His mouth in Rev. 3:16.]

Sword and flame are the two sacrificial items/tools throughout all of scripture. This starts in Genesis 3:24 where, in order to regain access to Paradise, man must ascend through the fiery sword of the Cherubim. This explains the Levitical dividing and burning of the sacrifices. This is ultimately fulfilled universally in Christ’s total sacrifice on the cross and our sacramental recapitulation/participation in that, through the sword and fire of Holy Baptism + Chrismation and the Holy Eucharist. Christ came to bring a sword, (Mt. 10:34) that he may set fire on the earth (Lk. 12:49) and once and for all fulfill the passing through sword and flame for Man. In giving your enemy bread to eat and water to drink you heap coals of fire upon his head and the LORD shall reward thee (Prov. 25:21-22).

Let us recall the establishment of the marriage supper of Mount Zion in Isaiah 66. How is this eucharistic table on Mount Zion established? Isaiah 66:16 has the answer:

For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

The solution, therefore, to the Davidic cry of Psalm 120 is the sacramental and ecclesial participation in the victory of Christ over death, who sent from above, draws us out of many waters (Ps. 18:16).

We see in the story of Noah God rained upon the earth and this acted both as a curse to the wicked and a blessing to those in the ark. The possibility to reject the Christ is always present and is something we must always guard ourselves against -- lest we be divided and slain like the leviathan or burned like Nadab and Abihu in Lev. 10 -- lest the coals of fire hail (Ps. 18:13) upon us like Sodom and Gomorrah. There is huge significance that can be drawn between this, 1 Cor. 11:23-30; Hebrews 9 and Lev. 16, but that is for another time and is a much broader, and more important, topic.

---------------

End notes:

I included the dates that videos were published on since Jack likes to mess around with anniversaries.

Title changes were also listed (Jack sometimes changes these as well, like the firestarter that he is, and this was especially the case with the first episode of FNAF: Sister Location)

-----

If there’s anything I missed, please let me know so I can add it! As a note, I don't add 'suspicious videos', because there would simply be too many - this list is strictly for full ego appearances and glitches. I also try to limit my glitches since if nothing else happens, it might just be an effect by Robin and doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I hope this list helps out anyone who’s new or those who would like a complete reference list!

If you are new, don’t feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff on the list. I know from experience that it can be a lot to take in, but don’t worry. Just take things slow, and don’t hesitate to message me or anyone else if you have any questions about the egos or past videos. There are a lot of super nice and incredibly smart theorists in this community who I’m sure would be more than happy to help you out.

Speaking of theorists, I’m gonna tag a few since they have some amazing theories of their own! I'll also put some additional info next to some of their names since their posts have been a big help to me as a theorist. :)

@fear-is-nameless (would heavily recommend their 4 timelines on ego events, as they contain links to a lot of posts/theories from the time)

@rogue-of-broken-time (lots of good theories)

@isa-ghost / @isas-theory-wall (Isa writes notes on every ego video and their theory wall blog is solely dedicated to theories)

@huffletrax (lots of good theories)

#jacksepticeye #neon theory #all ego videos #jameson jackson #dr schneeplestein #jackieboy man #marvin the magnificent #chase brody #antisepticeye #this took so long

CLÁSICOS [ Classical Studies‎ | Hispanic Studies‎ | Others ]

Entendemos por clásico lo que debe tomarse como modelo debido a su calidad superior o perfección (remite a la cultura grecolatina). Clásico, dentro del ámbito más específico de la Estética y la Historia del Arte, denomina una "categoría histórico-estilística", frecuentemente asociada en el par clásico / barroco, también clásico / romántico, que sin embargo quedaría subsumido en el anterior.

1.«El Quijote». Miguel de Cervantes. La primera novela moderna, maestra de narradores. Junto a «Las Novelas ejemplares». 2 y 3. «La Ilíada». Homero. El imaginario humano al completo está tejido en esta obra, que escenifica el combate que todos nosotros sabemos que es la vida entera. Junto a «La Odisea». El poema épico por antonomasia, el origen de toda la literatura posterior, la divina pirámide de la literatura.

4. «La Divina Comedia». Dante Alighieri. Este genial poema comenzó a escribirse hacia 1306 y relata el viaje de su autor por el Infierno, el Paraíso y el Purgatorio. 5. «Hamlet». William Shakespeare.

De ahí, el subtítulo de la obra: el protagonista intenta rivalizar en poder con Dios, como una suerte de Prometeo moderno que arrebata el fuego sagrado de la vida a la divinidad. Pertenece al género de ciencia ficción. 7. «En busca del tiempo perdido». Marcel Proust. Siete novelas forman esta obra imprescindible del siglo XX donde el escritor francés bucea en su memoria. 8. «La Eneida». Virgilio. Compuesta en el siglo I a.

Surrealism and Experimental Drama

CL 140 Winter 2019

Beginning around the late nineteenth century, avant-garde art set out to decenter the human mind--from conscious to unconscious thought, from waking to dreaming, from belief to performance. What happened is not an exchange of one set for the other, but a destabilization of the relation between real and imagined life which the “surreal” object and surreal experience exemplified. Yoda’s advice, “there is no try,” is the practical result of this destabilization: any act is potentially art and any art can transform us and the world. Surrealist painting and film, experimental poetry and drama, avant-garde photography, and early newspaper comics were part of this movement. Artists and writers responded around the world to the political and imaginative potential of the movement. We will study fiction, memoir, poetry, drama, photography, painting, video art, sculpture, newspaper comics, and film, together with theories of relation to the object, to explore surrealist ideas.

Assignments: 3 short response papers (readings or interpretations of a work from the course), 1 in-class presentation, and a final project (about a secret object), or five total, each counted as 20% of the grade). Attendance is required; 4 absences are allowed, after which the course grade is negatively affected.

THE BOOK OF Judges - From The Douay-Rheims Bible - Latin Vulgate

Chapter 13

INTRODUCTION

This Book is called Judges, because it contains the history of what passed under the government of the judges, who ruled Israel before they had kings. The writer of it, according to the more general opinion, was the prophet Samuel. Ch. --- Some are of opinion, that the judges might have each left records of their respective administration, (M.) which might be put in order by Samuel. The author of this book seems to have lived under the reign of Saul, before David had expelled the Jebusites. C. xviii. 31. D. --- The captivity, which is mentioned v. 30, must be understood of that when the ark of God, as well as the idol Micha, and may of the people were taken by the Philistines. Huet. --- Many passages of the Psalms, &c. are taken from this book, which shew its antiquity. Ps. lxvii. 8. 2 K. xi. 21. The divine Providence is here displayed in a very striking manner. D. --- The theocracy still subsisted and God generally chose these judges to be his ministers, and to deliver the people, on their repentance, from some dreadful calamity. H. --- They exercised a supreme power, yet without bearing the insignia of regal authority, or imposing taxes, or making any alteration in the established laws. The Suffetes, who were Carthaginian magistrates, seem to have taken their name from these Ssuptim. D. --- When God did not raise up judges, in an extraordinary manner, a kind of ananchy prevailed. H. --- Each of the tribes regarded only their own affairs, and the republic was dissolved. Grotius. --- Prosperous and unfortunate days succeeded each other, in proportion as the people gave themselves up to repentance or to dissolution. Sicut se habebant peccata populi & misericordia Dei, alternaverunt prospera & adversa bellorum. S. Aug. C. D. xviii. 23. S. Jerom (ep. ad Eust. & ad Paulin.) exhorts us to penetrate the spiritual sense of the historical books, and he regards "the judges as so many figures" of the apostles, who established the church of Christ. Though some of them had been noted for their misconduct, they were reclaimed by the grace of God. Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted, who turned not away from the Lord, that their memory might be blessed, &c. Eccli. xlvi. 13. 14. W. --- S. Paul mentions four of them, though the conduct of Jephte and of Samson might have been regarded as more exceptionable than that of Othoniel, who is said to have been filled with the spirit of the Lord. C. iii. 10. Serarius doubts not but they are all in heaven. Salien (A. 2640,) supposes that the transactions recorded in the five last chapters, took place before this 40th year from the death of Josue, which was the last of Othoniel. With respect to the chronology of these times, there are many opinions. Houbigant endeavours to shew that the system of Usher is inadmissible, as well as that of Petau. Marsham maintains that many of the captivities, and of the Judges, related only to some tribes, so that the different years which are specified, must be referred to the same period of time. Thus while Jephte ruled over those on the east side of the Jordan, and fought against the Ammonites, other judges endeavoured to repel the armies of the Philistines on the west. See 3 K. vi. 1. Judg. xi. 16. By this expedient, he finds no difficulty in shewing that 480 years elapsed from the departure out of Egypt till the building of the temple, and that the Israelites had occupied the country of the Ammonites during the space of 300 years. H. --- Houbigant seems to adopt this system in some respects, and he thinks that errors have crept into some of the numbers, so that Aod procured a peace of only 20 instead of 80 years, &c. He observes that the name of judge here designates, 1. A warrior, like Samson; 2. a person who passes sentence according to the law, which was the office of Heli; 3. one divinely commissioned to exercise the sovereign authority, as Samuel did, even after Saul had been elected king. Proleg. Chronol. Others have compared the power of these judges with that of the Roman Dictators, or the Archontes of Athens. Serarius. --- They were properly God's lieutenants. Their revenue seems to have been very precarious, and their exterior deportment modest and unassuming. They were guided by the declarations of the high priests, when arrayed with the Urim and Thummim; and their business was to promote the observance of the true religion, and to defend the people of God. This book concludes with the history of Samson, describing the transactions of 317 years, (C.) according to the calculation of Usher, which has met with the approbation of many of the learned, and is therefore chiefly inserted in this edition, as it was in that which was published in 1791, at Dublin, by the care of the Rev. B. Mac Mahon, who seems to have made some alterations. It is not indeed free from many serious difficulties. But we have not leisure to examine them at present. See C. iii. 11. 30. We shall only subjoin the chronological table of Houbigant, which is not very common, that the reader may perceive where they are chiefly at variance. Moses governed 40 years, Josue 20, the Ancients 20, king of Mesopotamia 8, Othoniel 40, Moabites 18, Aod 20, Samgar 0, the Chanaanites 20, Debora and Barac 40, Madianites 7, Gedeon 40, Abimelech 3, Thola 23, Ammonites 0, Jair 22, Jephte 6, Abesan 7, Ahialon 10, Abdon 8, Philistines 0, Samson 20, and with Heli 20, Heli and Samuel 25, Samuel and Saul 20, David 40, Solomon 3. In the 4th year of his reign the temple was begun, 480 years after the liberation from Egypt. Those to whom no years are assigned, lived at the same time with others whose years enter into the calculation. Thus Samgar gained a victory over the Philistines, while the Chanaanites held the Israelites in subjection. C. iii. 31. For other particulars we must refer to the author. Chron. sacra. H.

This Catholic commentary on the Old Testament, following the Douay-Rheims Bible text, was originally compiled by Catholic priest and biblical scholar Rev. George Leo Haydock (1774-1849). This transcription is based on Haydock's notes as they appear in the 1859 edition of Haydock's Catholic Family Bible and Commentary printed by Edward Dunigan and Brother, New York, New York.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Changes made to the original text for this transcription include the following:

Greek letters. The original text sometimes includes Greek expressions spelled out in Greek letters. In this transcription, those expressions have been transliterated from Greek letters to English letters, put in italics, and underlined. The following substitution scheme has been used: A for Alpha; B for Beta; G for Gamma; D for Delta; E for Epsilon; Z for Zeta; E for Eta; Th for Theta; I for Iota; K for Kappa; L for Lamda; M for Mu; N for Nu; X for Xi; O for Omicron; P for Pi; R for Rho; S for Sigma; T for Tau; U for Upsilon; Ph for Phi; Ch for Chi; Ps for Psi; O for Omega. For example, where the name, Jesus, is spelled out in the original text in Greek letters, Iota-eta-sigma-omicron-upsilon-sigma, it is transliterated in this transcription as, Iesous. Greek diacritical marks have not been represented in this transcription.

Footnotes. The original text indicates footnotes with special characters, including the astrisk (*) and printers' marks, such as the dagger mark, the double dagger mark, the section mark, the parallels mark, and the paragraph mark. In this transcription all these special characters have been replaced by numbers in square brackets, such as [1], [2], [3], etc.

Accent marks. The original text contains some English letters represented with accent marks. In this transcription, those letters have been rendered in this transcription without their accent marks.

Other special characters.

Solid horizontal lines of various lengths that appear in the original text have been represented as a series of consecutive hyphens of approximately the same length, such as ---.

Ligatures, single characters containing two letters united, in the original text in some Latin expressions have been represented in this transcription as separate letters. The ligature formed by uniting A and E is represented as Ae, that of a and e as ae, that of O and E as Oe, and that of o and e as oe.

Monetary sums in the original text represented with a preceding British pound sterling symbol (a stylized L, transected by a short horizontal line) are represented in this transcription with a following pound symbol, l.

The half symbol (1/2) and three-quarters symbol (3/4) in the original text have been represented in this transcription with their decimal equivalent, (.5) and (.75) respectively.

Unreadable text. Places where the transcriber's copy of the original text is unreadable have been indicated in this transcription by an empty set of square brackets, [].

Chapter 13

The people fall again into idolatry and are afflicted by the Philistines. An angel foretelleth the birth of Samson.

[1] And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years. Rursumque filii Israel fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini : qui tradidit eos in manus Philisthinorum quadraginta annis.

[2] Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren. Erat autem quidam vir de Saraa, et de stirpe Dan, nomine Manue, habens uxorem sterilem.

[3] And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son. Cui apparuit angelus Domini, et dixit ad eam : Sterilis es et absque liberis : sed concipies, et paries filium :

[4] Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing. cave ergo ne bibas vinum ac siceram, nec immundum quidquam comedas :

[5] Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines. quia concipies, et paries filium, cujus non tanget caput novacula : erit enim nazaraeus Dei ab infantia sua, et ex matris utero, et ipse incipiet liberare Israel de manu Philisthinorum.

[6] And when she was come to her husband she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him who he was, and whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me. Quae cum venisset ad maritum suum, dixit ei : Vir Dei venit ad me, habens vultum angelicum, terribilis nimis. Quem cum interrogassem quis esset, et unde venisset, et quo nomine vocaretur, noluit mihi dicere :

[7] But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death. sed hoc respondit : Ecce concipies et paries filium : cave ne vinum bibas, nec siceram, et ne aliquo vescaris immundo : erit enim puer nazaraeus Dei ab infantia sua, ex utero matris suae usque ad diem mortis suae.

[8] Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the man of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child that shall be born. Oravit itaque Manue Dominum, et ait : Obsecro, Domine, ut vir Dei, quem misisti, veniat iterum, et doceat nos quid debeamus facere de puero, qui nasciturus est.

[9] And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel, Exaudivitque Dominus deprecantem Manue, et apparuit rursum angelus Dei uxori ejus sedenti in agro : Manue autem maritus ejus non erat cum ea. Quae cum vidisset angelum,

[10] She made haste and ran to her husband: and told him saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me whom I saw before. festinavit, et cucurrit ad virum suum : nuntiavitque ei, dicens : Ecce apparuit mihi vir, quem ante videram.

[11] He rose up and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am. Qui surrexit, et secutus est uxorem suam : veniensque ad virum, dixit ei : Tu es qui locutus es mulieri? Et ille respondit : Ego sum.

[12] And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself? Cui Manue : Quando, inquit, sermo tuus fuerit expletus, quid vis ut faciat puer? aut a quo se observare debebit?

[13] And the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself: Dixitque angelus Domini ad Manue : Ab omnibus, quae locutus sum uxori tuae, abstineat se :

[14] And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfill and observe. et quidquid ex vinea nascitur, non comedat : vinum et siceram non bibat, nullo vescatur immundo : et quod ei praecepi, impleat atque custodiat.

[15] And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee. Dixitque Manue ad angelum Domini : Obsecro te ut acquiescas precibus meis, et faciamus tibi haedum de capris.

[16] And the angel answered him: If thou press me, I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord. Cui respondit angelus : Si me cogis, non comedam panes tuos : si autem vis holocaustum facere, offer illud Domino. Et nesciebat Manue quod angelus Domini esset.

[17] And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee? Dixitque ad eum : Quod est tibi nomen, ut, si sermo tuus fuerit expletus, honoremus te?

[18] And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful? Cui ille respondit : Cur quaeris nomen meum, quod est mirabile?

[19] Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on. Tulit itaque Manue haedum de capris, et libamenta, et posuit super petram, offerens Domino, qui facit mirabilia : ipse autem et uxor ejus intuebantur.

[20] And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground. Cumque ascenderet flamma altaris in caelum, angelus Domini pariter in flamma ascendit. Quod cum vidissent Manue et uxor ejus, proni ceciderunt in terram,

[21] And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord, et ultra eis non apparuit angelus Domini. Statimque intellexit Manue angelum Domini esse,

[22] And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God. et dixit ad uxorem suam : Morte moriemur, quia vidimus Deum.

[23] And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come. Cui respondit mulier : Si Dominus nos vellet occidere, de manibus nostris holocaustum et libamenta non suscepisset, nec ostendisset nobis haec omnia, neque ea quae sunt ventura dixisset.

[24] And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. Peperit itaque filium, et vocavit nomen ejus Samson. Crevitque puer, et benedixit ei Dominus.

[25] And the spirit of the Lord began to be with him in the camp of Dan, between Saraa and Esthaol. Coepitque spiritus Domini esse cum eo in castris Dan inter Saraa et Esthaol.

Commentary:

Ver. 1. Years. It is not clear whence this sixth and longest servitude is to be dated. If it terminated at the death of Samson, when the Philistines lost their chief nobility, &c. we must allow that the Israelites began to be obliged to pay tribute in the 6th year of Abesan. A.C. 1193. Salien. C. xii. 8. H. --- Marsham dates from the third month after the death of Jair, to the third year of Samuel, during which period Heli governed in one part, and Jephte, Abesan, Ahialon, and Abdon in other provinces of Palestine. It is not very material which of these systems be adopted, as they do not contradict the text. All Israel was not reduced under the power of the Philistines; but the neighbouring tribes were infested with their incursions, and were obliged to pay tribute. Juda complains at their invading his territory, and they allege that it was because Samson had been the aggressor, which shews that the Israelites retained some little liberty. C. xv. 9. C. --- The servitude had scarcely commenced, when God provided Samson a deliverer for his people. Salien, A. 2860. H.

Ver. 2. Saraa, in the confines of Juda and of Dan, ten miles north of Eleutheropolis. Euseb. --- Manue seems to have resided in the country, near this town, v. 25. M.

Ver. 3. Angel, in human form. Some Protestants pretend that he was "the Son of God," and yet (v. 16) they say, "he sought not his own honour, but God's, whose messenger he was," (Bible, 1603) in which they plainly contradict themselves, or else teach Arianism, as if the Son were not true God, and equal to his Father. W. --- The title of God, (Jehova) which is given to this angel, (v. 15, 21) is no proof that he was the Supreme Being. C. vi. 11.

Ver. 4. Thing. Exhortations to observe the law are not unnecessary. S. Aug. q. 50. Besides the things which common people might take, such as wine, grapes, &c. were unclean for the Nazarites. The mother of Samson was required to abstain from every species of uncleanness as much as possible, at least while she bore and nursed her child. C. --- Abulensis says, she was unquestionably under peculiar restrictions till her delivery. M. --- This was a preparation for the child who should abstain from all unclean things, not only for a time, (Num. vi.) but during his whole life, that he might be a more perfect figure of Christ. W. --- His dignity was not of choice, nor could he forfeit it by touching any thing unclean, nor by the violent cutting off his hair. As the deliverer of the people, he must often have been obliged to touch dead bodies. C. --- Begin. The power of the Philistines was greatly broken by Samson. C. xvi. 13. M. --- But Samuel, Saul, and David had still to contend with them. 1 K. vii. 13. H.

Ver. 6. And when, &c. Heb. Chal. Syr. Arab. and the Vatican Sept. read a negation, "And I did not ask him whence he came; neither did he tell me his name." The other copies of the Sept. S. Aug. (q. 51.) &c. agree with the Vulg. though S. Aug. suspected that the negation was wanting. C.

Ver. 8. Born. Josephus (v. 10.) insinuates that Manue was touched with a sort of jealousy, as his wife had mentioned the comeliness of the stranger. H. --- But S. Ambrose (ep. 70) has undertaken his defence; and surely God would not have wrought a miracle to gratify his request, if it had not proceeded from a virtuous motive, desiring to enjoy the same happiness as his wife, and to know precisely how they were to educate their son. C. --- Procopius thinks that the wife of Manue was of more eminent virtue than her husband, and was therefore honoured with the first vision. She had been more afflicted at her sterility, and had prayed more earnestly for the people's safety. M.

Ver. 12. Himself. Heb. and Sept. "What shall be the judgment (education. C.) of the boy, and what his works? (or Prot.) how shall we do unto him?" H.

Ver. 13. Let her refrain, &c. By the Latin text, it is not clear whether this abstinence was prescribed to the mother or to the child; but the Heb. (in which the verbs relating thereto are of the feminine gender) determines it to the mother. But then the child also was to refrain from the like things, because he was to be from his infancy a Nazarite of God, (v. 5) that is, one set aside in a particular manner, and consecrated to God; now the Nazarites, by the law, were to abstain from all these things.

Ver. 15. Dress. Heb. and Sept. "let us make." Vulg. faciamus, is used either for a common feast or for a sacrifice. Ex. xxix. 36. Virg. (eclog. iii.) Cras faciam vitula. Manue did not yet know who the angel was. He only designed to give him something to eat. A kid was then esteemed the most delicious food, and physicians esteem it very wholesome. The taste of people has since altered. Bochart, Anim. p. i. b. ii. 52. C.

Ver. 16. Bread is put for all sorts of food. Angels eat none. Toby xii. 19. M.

Ver. 17. Honour thee with a suitable reward. 1 Tim. v. 17.

Ver. 18. Wonderful. Heb. Peli. Some have concluded that this was the proper name of the angel, as it is one of the titles of the Messias. Isai. ix. 6. But it is more probable that the angel did not reveal his name. Chal. Others divide this sentence thus, "and he (the angel, or rather God) was wonderful." He was the author of all miracles, to whom sacrifice was immediately offered. It is doubtful whether the angels have distinctive names. But we read of Michael, &c. and there is no reason why they should not have names denoting their peculiar dignity and offices. C. --- Michael, the guardian of the church, perhaps appeared on this occasion. M.

Ver. 19. On. Manue was convinced that the person who had authorized him to offer sacrifice, had power to dispense with him. W. --- The angel "did wonderful things," as the Heb. may be explained, causing a flame to proceed from the rock and to consume the victim, as Josephus assures us, (C.) and as the angel who had appeared to Gedeon had done. C. vi. 21. M.

Ver. 22. Seen God: not in his own person, but in the person of his messenger. The Israelites, in those days imagined they should die if they saw an angel, taking occasion perhaps from those words spoken by the Lord to Moses, (Ex. xxxiii. 20.) No man shall see me and live. But the event demonstrated that it was but a groundless imagination. Ch. --- Elohim is applied to angels and men, as well as to God. C.

Ver. 23. Come. The wife of Manue allays his fears with great prudence, as she observes that God had just promised them a son. H.

Ver. 24. Samson signifies, "His sun, or joy;" or Syr. "service." C. --- "His, or a little sun." M. --- Blessed him with graces and strength, suitable for his office. C.

Ver. 25. To be. Sept. "to walk along." Jonathan, "to sanctify." Samson began to manifest an eager desire to deliver his brethren. C. --- Dan, as it was called from those 600 men who encamped here, when they were going to take Lais. C. xviii. 12. H. --- God inspired him to commence the liberation of his country, when he was about 17 years old, (Usher) or 20 according to Salien. Then he entered upon his judicial authority, and punished the wrongs which the Philistines did him in person, as well as his countrymen. The seven years wandering of Æneas had terminated in his death just before, at the river Numicus. Halicar. 1. Salien, A.C. 1176. H.
