VLVL2 (9): "a room of her own" and WORK

[Terrance]

 And does P put a unique spin on
> an old tried n' true theme, found in virtually every other literary work?

Well, Genesis is about Work, that's true, but Odysseus wanted to stay
home and work the farm but that would have been pretty boring Journey
and war is always more interesting than work, GR is better because its a
bout war, anyway with a name like Ulysses ... and the Green Knight
doesn't work, he's on a mission from God, Don Q, likewise, is
technically and chivalristically unemployed, the Canterbury pilgrims all
have professions, but they are on a pilgrimage, Paradise Lost is not
about God's work but about God's ways .... War and Peace is about war
and peace .... 

I think that this "Lesbian becomes a whore who mixes up Love and Death"
theme reads like a tired re-work of Chapter 14 in the Novel V.
