Feb 3rd Notes

Basin is the first piece of furniture in Finnegans Wake.
Dr. Sexson explained the bedroom picture from Gordon. It was one of those explanations that is near impossible to recreate on this blog. Can't step in the same river twice.

The Earwickers are the nighttime version of the daytime people, the Porters.
commode - held the chamber pot
paintings in privy, Aubrey Beardsley

Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, bless this bed I lie on.

Interesting the association that the nighttime makes with ordinary things of the daytime.

museum - place where the muses live, muse room, stuff where we find the mystery of furniture.

We watched clips from The Skin of Our Teeth.
Fortuneteller emulating Mae West - archetypal seductress figure.
Character Lily, life and death
This play, by calling attention to itself as a play is post modern.
