Great guys. Absolutely loving your Faulkner talks. So helpful as I read these masterpieces. I've also been on multiple bear hunts with hounds and have many houndsman friends, and have a feist dog and know guys who have feist dogs that they've hunted on bear just like in the story. Regarding "So he should have hated and feared Lion" I still think this could be Ikke, because Lion ends the wilderness experience, the hunting camp, and the mythic quest.

Pints And Paperbacks @12:30? See... I was contemplating cutting that out as my accents are always so bad. You’ve just validated me. Be prepared for more horrendous impersonations in the future 😂

I love the way Faulkner made me look at the train as if I were the bear, trying to understand it, and then seeking refuge in a tall tree. At one point, I was looking out the eyes of the dog, Lion as well. I think these animals were just characterized, brought to life so well, and almost humanized that I was visualizing the story from their eyes. No other writer has done that for me. Great job breaking this story down for me. The Bear, what a great section!

You're pronouncing 'Airedale' correctly. Seems like a decent channel and I'll explore further. Just reread Go Down, Moses, and this is the only worthwhile discussion I can find on KZbin. Have to say though, you seem to be under the impression that Old Ben killed Major de Spain's colt and use that to construct the 'broken contract' idea, but Lion killed the colt.

I was loving the Bear parts 1-3 and then it all of a sudden turns into Absalom! Absalom! In part 4 and I was so shocked 😂

reading The Bear in the short stories book Vonnegut used to teach and it's obviously abridged, I can tell from what you're saying. Mine starts, "He was ten."

This is so weird. I’m watching this for a class while I play fallout 4 and then there’s a pipboy edition in the background lol

the bear is a vision of spirit and appears after he lays down his physical, false protection: the gun, the compass, the watch. ( the watch relates to quentin) ( the compass is a tool to get you back out of the woods. surrendering it, is an act of surrendering ti the woods)

Sure. A lot of ways to take the items but I think that's along the line kind of how I felt too.

the hunters come for validation.
@TheCodeXCantina4 жыл бұрын
I see that theme a lot. I think some of the hunters or the chorus of the town for sure from a conquering perspective. I think it depends on what you'd say they're validating. I like how some of the experienced ones don't want to kill the bear so much as rendezvous with it. Almost like keeping-in-touch-validation more so than a masculine form. There is that really great quote with the dog about 'fear' and conquering it that I thought was poignant. Faulkner always had a reverence for nature as opposed to modernity and conquering and coexisting were both ways for him to explore that. So yeah, I agree, but I think there's a lot of nuance in there of what validation means.

the bear ended up in big woods minus part 4.

That's good! It's sad when people who approach the bear get thrust into this part that lacks a lot of other context to make meaning. Even with the context it's still 'a bear' to make the obvious joke.... :D
