Kill Billy: Order and Innocence in Melville’s “Billy Budd”
Subtext: Conversations about Classic Books and Films - Un pódcast de Wes Alwan and Erin O'Luanaigh - Lunes
Categorías:
Bill Budd is a beautiful man. Not just good looking, but exquisitely good natured, something that costs him no effort and has required no instruction. And yet it is ultimately his beautiful soul and good nature that get Billy killed. Wes & Erin discuss Herman Melville’s final and unfinished work of fiction, and whether a good heart and good intentions are more important than obedience to authority and adherence to civilized norms.
