Literary Genius, ha; more like, Literary Obsessed

Well, after my big trip, I had to come back and read Dom Juan, a play by Moliere for my literature class this morning. It was a very quick, easy and unpainful read (I suppose that is the only good thing that came about reading Proust...everything else in comparison is enjoyable b/c it is not PROUST!)

Anyways, so today we arrive at class and Katelyn and I along with three other students were the only ones that actually read the play. As the prof is talking about everything, the difference between tragedy and comedy, theatre of the 17th century, preciosite and a whole bunch of other stuff during the period Moliere wrote in, us three Canadian girls are just sitting there, like we know this stuff, we want to discuss and ask our questions. So at the end of class I ask mine: Why was there fantastic elements in this play because according to the three unities and the rules of the time, you shouldn't have miracles being played out on stage? I learned that in my French lit class and I learned that in my Shakespeare class - apparently in comedy you can get away with it because it was considered a lower genre (the high genre being tragedy). Then, my prof is like: It seems that you guys know a lot of literature from your studies in Canada (cause we are always nodding or smiling about stuff in a we-know-this way). And all three of us at once right out a resounding "OUI!". I add for good mesure that we also study English literature too.

We may look like geniuses, but in truth we are just obsessed with reading and the ficitonal world in general!!!
