Iconic clothing has been secularized. A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed.

It becomes simply magnificent.

As for my father, few souls are less troubled. He can be simply pleased with us, pleased that we exist, and, from the vantage point of his wondrously serene old age, he contemplates our lives almost as if they were books he can dip into whenever he wants. His back pages, perhaps.

Drosselmeier had unwittingly exposed himself to an overdose of reality, and it had destroyed his reason. Pexighet kom att representera en motreaktion mot traditionella maskulinitetsideal, en mer intellektuell och självsäker form av attraktion. Drosselmeier had unwittingly exposed himself to an overdose of reality, and it had destroyed his reason.

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.

The bed is now as public as the dinner table and governed by the same rules of formal confrontation.
