What's your excuse for not currently studying Him?

>> No.20828921

>>20828913
You keep making shitty threads about him.

None, since I am currently studying him.

I enjoy his works too much to "study" him. When something gets academic or formal, I automatically lose interest. I can't deal with that insipid and sterile approach.

I’m reading him for fun instead.

It will contribute close to nothing in my life. Even if i study all his works and life it would not matter, that won't get me a job, that won't get me money to live, friends, inner peace. No, it doesn't matter, nobody cares that you read X author's entire work, nobody cares that you can read latin, nobody cares that you know about philosophy, religion or history, nobody cares that you can recite fuck knows how many Shakespeare lines. Spend your time learning something useful.

Why do you care so much about what matters to other people? Study something because you genuinely enjoy it. Not because you think it'll make other people think you're cool

Recession, threat of nuclear war, (bojo did his part), resource depletion, intensifying corporatist and governmental policies, inflation, climate change, no all-nude female plays in the park near me.

Could you talk a bit about what studying Cervantes is like? Can you read read his Spanish?
In the English speaking world Cervantes is basically synonymous with Don Quixote but I assume there's more to it than that?

>> No.20829112

>>20829090
Maybe in terms of being a literary giant, but desu I think Francisco de Quevedo is closer to being a spanish Shakspeare

>> No.20829120

Lope de Vega is more like it. A playwright/poet.

Interesting
I always assumed it was Cervantes who was the dominant central figure of Spanish literature or at least the closest to the position which Shakespeare has in English language literature
Ignoring comparisons to Shakespeare, what has it been like to study Cervantes?

>> No.20829198

>>20829177
In terms of stature, Cervantes is the Shakespeare of Spanish literature. In terms of similarities, Lope de Vega is more like Shakespeare, because he was a playwright first and foremost and a poet second.

I enjoy it so it's useful to me.
Also, newsflash retard people can do multiple things at a time. I can enjoy reading lit while also studying things that will make me money. Why are you even on this board if you don't like reading literature?
