ok finished at the mountains of madness.
it was actually really good, i would even say great, i was glued to the page by the end. lovecraft knows how to write a climax.
and with that concludes the antartic trilogy! final thoughts?
verne is definetly the loser here, his story is a lot more tedious and the slavish way in which he sticks to poe's canon plays against it. he was much more interested in the human element, in dirk peters and godon pym and captain guy and he basically ignores all supernatural hints dropped in gordon pym.
lovecraft on the other hand grabs those few supernatural elements and runs off in an entirely new direction, all his own. he builds upon, he extrapolates, at times divorcing himself entirely of the original story and doing his own thing only to connect it back with a thin thread at the very end.
between poe and lovecraft i have to say poe is the better classical writer. gordon pym is a proper novel of adventures and he is masterful in letting the tension rise and fall and the emotions flow. in a sense its the perfect balance if you were to mix antartic mystery and mountains of madness in one single book. on the other hand lovecraft is too good at being lovecraft, noone does lovecraft like he does and that hews much closer to my own heart. the fact that his story is shorter also helps.
there is a definite throughline here about man vs nature. i figure the miniseries the terror makes a great companion piece for this, albeit that one happens literally at the other side of the world. the polar lands are alien and impenetrable and how disorienting, how vertigo unducing is the fact that this other world is actually part of our world. if i were to condense the themes of this trilogy in one single phrase, it would be the classical and undying script at the border of all maps "here be monsters"

What will it be like if Digimon Adventure 02 had a "Neverland" arc?
Tumblr media
If that was the case, we see a crossover with Digimon and Peter Pan. Plus, if Digimon paid tribute to classic literature, poetry, and drama, the arc would've featured original texts and dialogues from these great authors of all time.
William Shakespeare
Tumblr media
Hans Christian Andersen
Tumblr media
The Brothers Grimm
Tumblr media
Rudyard Kipling
Tumblr media
Victor Hugo
Tumblr media
Jules Verne
Tumblr media
Arthur Conan Doyle
Tumblr media
Edgar Allen Poe
Tumblr media
Robert Louis Stevenson
Tumblr media
Charles Dickens
Tumblr media
H.G. Wells
Tumblr media
A.A. Milne
Tumblr media
L. Frank Baum
Tumblr media
Lewis Carroll
Tumblr media
J.M. Barrie
Tumblr media
Imagine the astonishing adventures the DigiDestined and their friends will have if they encounter Peter Pan and travelled to Never Never Land. I figure it would've been amazing to introduce kids to the world of literature through the stories and characters created by these brilliant writers.

Tbh, my interpretation is that Captain Nemo was too caught up in his own revenge and trauma to feel any emotional attachment towards Aronnax, but Aronnax always gives all of their interactions more weight and importance than they actually had.
Captain Nemo: Hey. Aronnax writing in his diary that night while kicking his feet in the air: Captain Nemo said hey to me. What does that mean?
Aronnax's story is about discovering the wonders of the ocean, and perhaps a queer allegory.
Nemo's story is about anti-imperialism.
