Re: Reading TOO much into Guilty Spark?
Posted By: Infantier <apbelsey@hotmail.com>Date: 9/25/03 12:25 p.m.

In Response To: Reading TOO much into Guilty Spark? (Vanillathunder)

: "Why would you hesitate to do what you've already done (sic)?"

Does GS mean the MC by saying "you" or does he just mean "your kind".

It is very common for people to say "you" when they mean "your lot", as in (please excuse the politics of this example)- Englishman to a German "well, you started the war". It doesn't mean the individual does it? It just means "you the Germans", of whom "you" are the unfortunate immediate representative.

If this is what GS means , then it avoids a lot of the complexity and lets us escape from (Shishka's?) time travel nightmares that so often get into this type of discussion.

Undoubtedly, GS thinks "we" have done something before, but the question is unanswered - just who does he think "we" are? Forerunner? Human? or just the unfortunate immediate representative of one of those groups?

It's a bitch ain't it?
