Listen now
Description
In this episode, Bailey and Kelly discuss the fifth episode of the final season of The Wire by looking at the literary themes of duplicity and the dialectic model.   Works Cited:  Theme of duplicity:“The idea of doubleness is at the core of duplicity. Duplicity comes from a Latin word meaning "double" or "twofold," and its original meaning in English has to do with a kind of deception in which you intentionally hide your true feelings or intentions behind false words or actions. If you are being duplicitous there are two yous: the one you're showing and the one you're hiding. And—key to the idea of duplicity—you're hiding that you in order to make people believe something that's not true.”  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/duplicitous “Apollo is representative of principle and calm reason.  Dionysus is the representative of mad inspiration, an inability to discern the boundaries between appearance and reality.  Apollo represents the state of "measured restraint," in which one remains separate from and thus mastery over the emotions; Dionysus represents a surrendering of self- where “self” is conceived of in roughly Platonic terms, as the rational ego. Thus, Dionysus is associated with drunkenness, the state in which one enters into an “inspiration,” an ecstatic unity, an identification (perhaps with a higher entity or community).”  - Source   “Nietzsche emphasizes that in real tragic art, the elements of Dionysus and Apollo were inextricably entwined.” - SparkNotes Frankenstein notes: https://the-motif-of-the-double.webnode.it/news/the-double-in-literature/ The Wild Man's Revenge: https://books.google.ca/books?id=27Av0zEmlqkC&pg=PA286&lpg=PA286&dq=apollonian+vs+dionysian+frankenstein&source=bl&ots=YDlc296SDB&sig=ACfU3U3zKstizkVvG_TUNbgPj9ALDZpFBw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiK8cLN2tToAhWUKM0KHetTBp0Q6AEwGHoECAgQNA#v=onepage&q=apollonian%20vs%20dionysian%20frankenstein&f=false
