Foreshadowing in the elegy

Episode 5 of the Weston anime adaptation reminded me of this old discussion.

I'm glad the anime still has Sebastian reciting this elegy, though he doesn't recite as much of it in the episode as he does in the original chapter.

In ep5, he just says "Sunt aliquid Manes: letum non omnia finit; luridaque euictos...."

But it's still enough to give us the foreshadowing. Quoting the paraphrase from that old post: "There is something in the spirits of dead people: not everything ends with death; a livid shadow won...."

This online essay translates the first bit as "The Shades are something: Death does not end everything" and discusses Propertius' allusions to Homer's Iliad.

Another online source translates it as "There are such things as ghosts: death is not the end of everything, and somehow a pale Shade can survive..." To finish the sentence, there's "escaping the pyre". It's interesting that the anime stops mid-sentence, but it does at least include that the "pale Shade" can "survive".

It could be more specifically about real Ciel's existence as a Bizarre Doll, but it's quite enough that we do have other Bizarre Dolls in this arc. Besides, later we find out that real Ciel was there to witness the Blue Miracle, too....

Cynthia returns in ghostly form to complain that her death was unfair and then not properly mourned. Doesn't real Ciel claim something similar later on, when he confronts our earl? Yeah. Not in the same way, but he accuses his younger twin of impersonating him, which automatically means our earl didn't follow the usual mourning rituals... by pretending "Ciel" never died to begin with... and then behaving around most people as if the younger twin never existed.

Cynthia's soul is in Hades, whereas real Ciel's soul (or at least whatever remains) is presumably still inside Sebastian... being reduced to nothing.

Despite it all, Cynthia's love continues, beyond the grave. And real Ciel says he still loves his little brother, despite the brother lying about his identity. Later on in the elegies, Cynthia is around (in some form?) and burning stuff down. What might that say about real Ciel? Well, he is fighting our earl by having all these blood collection facilities in operation. What other forms will their battles take? Would real Ciel burn down Funtom or something?!? He's already told Tanaka to "dispose" of the prototypes he was sent to approve....

Dabney Coleman, the mustachioed character actor who specialized in smarmy villains like the chauvinist boss in "9 to 5" and the nasty TV director in "Tootsie," has died. He was 92.

Coleman died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, his daughter, Quincy Coleman, said in a statement to The Associated Press. She said he “took his last earthly breath peacefully and exquisitely.”

“The great Dabney Coleman literally created, or defined, really — in a uniquely singular way — an archetype as a character actor. He was so good at what he did it’s hard to imagine movies and television of the last 40 years without him,” Ben Stiller wrote on X.

Gabi P with a thoughtful q&a

anything that gets you closer to your authentic self handling nerves by accepting them - not fighting stress, giving space to the nerves -- this is so true. what you resist persists - your body won't stop trying to get your attention if you try to ignore what it's telling you, but some of those alarms keep you in fight or flight.

Alice Munro, Nobel winner and titan of the short story, dies aged 92

The Canadian short-story writer and Nobel prize winner Alice Munro, who examined everyday life through the lens of short fiction for more than 60 years, has died aged 92 at her care home in Ontario. She had suffered from dementia for more than a decade.

Once called “the Canadian Chekhov” by Cynthia Ozick, Munro’s body of work was founded on forms and subjects traditionally disregarded by the literary mainstream. It was only later in life that Munro’s reputation began to rise, her understated stories of apparently plain folks in undramatic, small-town Canada amassing a raft of international awards that included the 2013 Nobel prize in literature.
