Milk and Magic

There is a Monster at the end of this Blog
Hi guys,
Sorry for the double posting (and a bit too late, too), but while I was studying for finals, I discovered an almost hypnotic diversion: finding the real hidden themes in our Myth and Magic course. You may have thought the stories in Myth and Magic were collected in our course due to the stimulating contrast between different ways that myth and magic were incorporated into American literature over the ages. You were sadly misled.
Behold, a collection of photographs revealing the Monster behind Myth and Magic.

Does Grendel remind you of anyone? Specifically, an eye-searing blue someone with a voracious appetite for cookies? Speak no further- I told you the truth would be painful.

Braddock Washington almost succeeded in bribing the powers that be that fateful day. Had he known what he should have used as tribute, the resulting scene would approximate the horror you see above. Try to restrain your trembling; He will not attack you through the screen.
Ancient manuscripts of Song of Solomon have revealed a newly discovered ending scene. Who knew that the monster lurked here as well? 
At last, other depictions of Grendel, cleverly disguised as Magritte knockoffs. I ask you, who is the true monster here!?

Anyway, it was nice to experience this course with all of you. Pictures drawn and computerized by me, with props to Lizzie for her input and editing and staying up until 3 in the morning during reading week thinking of progressively wackier ideas. :-)

Have a good night!
