My Oedipal relationship
I just got done talking to my girl. Shes goes Weschester Community College and shes taking about four or five classes. We were talking and shes complaining about how much she has to read and write for her English class. I told her I despise writing too but love reading. I told her about Oedipus and what we talked about in class and we went back and forth about the themes. Its funny because I'm usually the one who listens while she talks but this time I went on and on about this play. From the themes of Oedipus to how it relates to Poetics from Aristotle, I even found relations to our relationship. She tells me I remind her a lot of her father because of the way i care for her and some of the things I do. And I let her know how similar she is to my mother in some of the things she does and the way she acts. In a way we felt that perhaps we subconsciously went for the traits we found most familiar in our parents in each other. Oh well I love my mother and I love her so my subconcious can do what it wants. It's not like I can tell it what anyway.......-J. Ramsey
