CoL49 - New World

[J K Van Nort]

Some thoughts:

Mark, could this be the Hesse quote?




''Who would be born must first destroy a world. '' from Demian
Oedipa desires to be born anew, whether she realizes it or not. She needs to destroy the patriarchal society that keeps her in the "tower is everything" world.

The more these men become less "desperate" to keep her nearby, she becomes more capable of establishing herself in a new world. Back to the Rapunzel story, the prince doesn't rescue her, he uses her hair to climb up and develop their relationship, keeping her there, getting her pregnant with twins, until the witch discovers the love affair and banishes Rapunzel into the 'wilderness'. There she creates a "new world" and raises the twins until the blinded prince finds his way to her. Only then do they return to his kingdom, and her tears actually give him sight again!

In solidarity,
James
