SHADE







well i cant figure out how to get a depiction of shade on my blog so i am just going to get pictures from online like we did in class to try and find at least a small resemblance of what shade could look like.... here goes...























in class there was a lot of talk about how generous Shade was..... and i think i have somewhat touched on that subject a little bit, but not to the point where our conversation went today in class. i think that Kinbote can see the generostiy in shade and at times uses it against him.... he tries to get all that he can from shade and doesnt seem to care if shade wants it that way or not.... and really kinbote just takes from shade any time he can, even after shades death.... right away after his death..

another point made in class was that through pictures of shade, Kinbote can see shades soul... if he could see shades soul, wouldnt he know that really the poem has nothing at all to do with kinbote... but again he is the type of person that thinks all things revolve around him.... he really truly amazes me as a character and as a person.... there is no generosity in Kinbote... maybe he latches on to shade because he can see that good in shade and wants to have that same good.... hmm
