In a sense, writers have to be effusive many times. Real me is very modest compared to the bragging mouth I have.--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters [ Parent ]

Yes, that's a good idea. We can develop a good relationship like Virginia Wolfe and Norman Mailer did, though I am not sure what kind of relations they had, it is certain that they are a good friend.
Or a relationship Simone De Beauvoir & Jean-Paul Sartre had.

Oh, I must have made a critical mistake...American writer Susan Sontag (1933-2004) instead of British Virginia Woolf(1882-1941).
Norman Mailer, American, was born in 1923 and still working as a writer. They -Sontag & Mailer were a friend (as long as I know). Thanks.--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters [ Parent ]

Just so long as you're not angling for the relationship between Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft. *grin*What is your native language?--Multiplayer Notepad! [slashdot.org] [ Parent ]

People around me use Japanese simply because they were born in Japan. I prefer using English since I started learning it at age 12.
I think some notions in English first then translate them into Japanese. My native language belongs to a tacit dimension and English is by far closer to my native tongue.
Mary Shelly is famous for her masterpiece Frankenstein, in many aspects her creature has a loveable character. People seek for people who are likeminded, her novel sheded light on this universal principle through these monsterous beings. Frankenstein was named after his inventor. You know why she didn't give him another name?--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters [ Parent ]

Your English is far better than my Japanese. I can still tell you're not a native speaker, just from the way you write, sorry.I have no idea why Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley didn't give Frankenstein's Monster another name. Personally, I think the book was overrated. I studied it in school twice, I think. I somehow managed to get a bachelor's degree in English Literature despite thinking that most of the Western Canon is crap... *grin*--Multiplayer Notepad! [slashdot.org] [ Parent ]

Oh, you pretend not to know the reason. You must have known that, assuming the way you wrote down the name of Mary Shelley.
I mean her mother was dead at the same time at her birth, and she was named exactly the same name after her mother- Mary Wollstonecraft, many family members related to her were famous figures so a liitle bit confusing though.
He didn't give him another name from his inventor simply she cast double image on herself and the creature Frankenstein, it is the writer's natural tendency to attribute to someone whether they have faults, in her case her mother was dead because of the disease she got soon after her delivery. So for her -author of Frankenstein it must have appeared that her mother was so irresponsible to have passed not to say anything.
The creature Frankenstein was created by his inventor Dr Frankenstein and was named as the same as Dr's name. But he was completely different and not even biologically related to his inventor.
She was unable to overcome her tragedy -being unable to talk to her mother in the least. Whilst she was able to overcome her that tragedy by creating more tragic example- the birth of monster. She didn't notice that she herself was a monster of her times but now we can tell she was.
I evaluate her work as one of the masterpieces we had though evaluation varies in individuals. Any way thanks for my entry, I would like to learn English more through reading your good JEs furthermore. I think that's the *best way*!--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters
