Well, that was the most time I have ever spent discussing defecation in an academic setting.
It is unsurprisingly hard for the class to refrain from breaking down in giggles while discussing in detail a scene involving a constipated man trying to shit in his front yard while talking to a neighbor and wearing his wife's clothes. As you can well imagine.
Also, I would like to report that Aristophanes, in the fourth goddamn century BC, invented communism. For a gag. Political scholars do not pay him nearly the attention he deserves.
This may be because in one chapter of one book about him, I was confronted with a paragraph that taught me the ancient Greek words for: dick, cunt, erection, shit, asshole, fart, fuck, masturbate, ET ALII. I now possess one-stop research for all the classical insults or scatalogical comments I will EVER need or desire. And then some.
This is why I cannot bring myself to feel overly weird at having spent my previous classes writing Cats fanfic in my head. Weird is, after all, ultimately a comparative term. (Also, French is boring as all hell and much improved by attempting to organize a plotbunny chronology.)
