Mr. Darcy As Raymond Chandler’s Hero
Mr. Darcy As Raymond Chandler’s Hero
So I’m still working on my analyses of Universal Horror films. Given how my work on Dracula (1931) turned out, however, I think that those analyses need something of re-think. At least in how I do them.
While I’m puzzling that out, I thought I’d keep my dedicated readers entertained by offering other analyses. In particular, today, we’re going to be talking about one Fitzwilliam Darcy and how is damn near literally the incarnation of Raymond Chandler’s hero as expressed in his landmark essay “The Simple Art of Murder.”

Today Is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
At least in the States, anyway. We don’t have this particular holiday in Canada.

Dracula (1931) Analysis, Part 6
A heatwave moved right into town last week/she came from the island of Martinique/the can can she dances will make you fry/the can can is really the reason why/we’re having a heat wave/a tropical heatwave/the temperature’s rising/it isn’t surprising…
Okay, that had nothing to do with Dracula (1931) or Dr. Abraham van Helsing. It does, however, have everything to do with the fact that it’s finally hot enough to continue writing in this Godzilla-forsaken place!
So join me under the cut for the most famous doctor in all of vampire-dom!

Happy New Year’s, everybody!
I still can’t get the DVD player in my PC to work properly, so this is not going to be quite the analysis I had originally planned. But it should still work, I hope.
