 |
|
Video #4
Discusses 2 familiars: A boa and a purple monkey (female role), does not discuss Owen
Notable statements (talking about Purple Monkey):
She basically just
Helps Me Out
Helps Me Out
Sad times (baby in crocodile blanket -- crocodile is Egyptian)
basically anything daniel can't help her out with
Is there an analysis anywhere of the spedup "dialogue" with Purple Monkey in video 4?
And of the kind of haphazard music at the end? |

In case anyone is wondering, my curiosity for bringing up old stuff like this here stems from loose threads in the Cassie story.
I put it in this forum for sake of keeping primary info about the video in general here -- the CiW gang will parse the useful posts, I'm sure. |

One key trait in Lovecraft books is that the heros of his tales (often secluded/sequestered scholarly types) rely upon animal companions who help them out.
Is P-Monkey a HPLovecraftian protector and advisor. Does Pmonkey really have the power of speech?
Also, remember Bree saying that the only friend she made in NZ was a dog. Another companion?

Eh? I'm a big Lovecraft fan and I don't recognize animal companions as a common theme in his stories. In fact, at the moment, I can't think of any of his stories that featured animal companions of the protagonist. (But maybe I'm just phasing out.) |

It would make more sense if Lovecraft did involve animal companions. But if you think it doesn't, I'll trust you, seeing as I've never laid my hands on any of Lovecraft's works.

I think I got the "animal companions" from this other book I was reading at the time. My bad. Stuff sometimes bleeds together.
But I was right on the sequestered scholarly types, right? Because if I am not, then I really ought to shut the hell up.
And honestly, I'd hate to do that. That would be a job of work.

Absolutely! Lovecraft often told his tales from the point of view of a private investigator, a scientist, or a journalist -- someone who would examine even the impossible in a rational, critical way, and give into the madness only when it was overwhelming. |
