Of course the first impression I received while watching this short vidio was a kind of similarity with The Fox written by D.H. Lawrence. Not similar in context, but in MEN'S nature and sexual needs, the men blinded by their animal instincts.
And the woman, what about her? the fox in this case, honored by it's wisdom in some cultures or distinguished for playing pranks and being mendacious in others, but also the one who tasted the apple first, the fruit of The Tree of the good and the evil, the one who is not protected by it's God, and can see the real world and it's danger.
In my personal view, the man who can't scape from it's instincts in The Fox is Henry and the woman who ate the apple would be March, because she wants to see the world outside doing everything she has been told not to do, she wants to take the risks and get involved with a man (Henry) because her instincts are telling her to do so.
And just as the end of the text, when Henry realized that maybe it would have been a better option not to follow his instincts because he finally owned march but it would never be a challenge again so he looses the carnal desires, the men in the video realize that the woman was a fox and that thety did not have a real reason to fight.
Even though the video is not a representation of the text, there are many analogies that we can make. And I found it really interesting and made me think of everything that we have learned and how can we apply our knowledge in contemporary literature.

Your entry is really interesting. I agree with you about how we can be so involved by our instincts (or how buddhists say: EGO) that we can even consider destroying everything we believe is a blockage to conquer our goals.
ResponderEliminarConsidering your point about the text, I strongly believe that Henry, March and Banford were characters that didn't know what was going in their heads. As we discussed in class, these characters were kind of ignorant, they hadn't the tools to decipher what was going on their heads, what they were feeling. Our ",mission" as readers is to get into the text and disclose what is happening there, interpreting the events that are happening in the story.
