would you say ignatius is innocent despite (or because of) his arrogance?

>> No.6961305

Hush! Nobody here really reads. It's a secret. Just play along. Confederacy of Dunces isn't meme enough to make a post about. Try Infinite Jest or Ulysses. Now you're in on the meme.

>>6961305

Nobody here reads? Really? Oh.
I was under the impression that everyone here did.

That's rather annoying.
Can I ask you guys two questions?
1) Do you recommend A Confederacy Of Dunces?
2) How are Ulysses or Infinite Jest memes?

Sorry. I'm a huge newfag.

I want to say Ignacius is far from innocent, but he never does anything without thinking it's moral. So, maybe he gains innocence through his neckbeard status.

1) It's mandatory introspection-core right behind Notes from the Underground, one of if not the funniest books I've ever read
2) Because they've spammed the titles until the point of no return. More people have probably brought up Ulysses on this board alone than there are people who've actually read it.

more importantly, is boethius "De consolatione philosophiae" a want reading?

>> No.6962785

not innocent. naïve. rather than adhere to any philosophy, he manipulates his philosophy to cater to his impulses. he is unaware so it's kind of a cautionary tale, right?

He faps too much to be innocent.

Anon please, he's far from naive. He's just a lazy fat guy who uses words to manipulate the people around him and takes advantage of anyone who shows a modicum of humanity. It's all forgivable though, because he's funny.

...neither? Not innocent at all, he reflects too many people to be that innocent - funnier than these people - but only because you don't have to actually interact with him. I kind of think of him as a parody of Holden Caulfield and Dostoyevski's Underground Man.

I'd say he's innocent and arrogant, and he's not innocent in spite of or because of his arrogance. I believe his arrogance is a facade to make himself feel better about his life and the meaninglessness of it, and to make others think he's not completely ashamed of himself and consumed in self-loathing.
