Discussion post: 2.2.1

[genarti]

Ack! I'm sorry, guys -- I totally forgot to post this last night. (For the record, any member of the comm should be able to post here, so if I mess up again, any of you is more than free to put up a discussion post if you want to be able to talk in it.)

We're to Book II now, "Le cabaret de la Rue du Paon," aka "The Public-House of the Rue du Paon. Specifically, 2.2.1: "Minos, Éaque, et Rhadamante" or "Minos, Aeacus, and Rhadamanthus."

Hah, no blame-- my internet access has been such a snarl of tin cans and string lately I'm just now getting caught up on NinetyThree Stuff, or I'd have posted myself. ! And you seem to have been a LITTLE busy!

This chapter, though! I'm really interested in where this goes, because Hugo is so clearly super conflicted about the Revolution-- obviously he things it was Great and necessary, but also his freakout about the Terror of Ninety Three is all over EVERYTHING all the time. I don't know how he's going to resolve that in talking about the people who were actually there. So far he seems to be going with "they were right but really scary"?
