Quote #4
Against [Desdemona's] will, the play had aroused her, too. The Minotaur's savage, muscular thighs. The suggestive sprawl of his victims. (2.2.11)
What is turning Desdemona on here? The violence of it all? The strength of the minotaur? A farm animal fetish? All of the above?
Quote #5
Plantagenet teased out all the harmonies, between a buttock's curve and a fender's, between corset and upholstery pleats, between garter belts and fan belts. [...] The days of the harem were over. Bring on the era of the backseat! Automobiles were the new pleasure domes. (2.4.73)
Lusts change. America's fascination with automobiles borders on fetish. Think of all the car ads you see (the ones that don't feature Ron Burgundy). What's selling these cars?
Quote #6
All love serenades must come to an end. (2.5.92)
Yes, it says love but it's really talking about lust here. Milton's flute playing to Tessie is the ultimate in literary eroticism, but eventually that erotic spark dies out of a relationship. Is there anything that can keep it going? What's left when it's gone?
