guppiecatI'm sure you all have seen the writing "analysis" thing making the rounds. I was curious as to it's depth... so off to Gutenberg I went.
1) I plugged in much of the first canto of Don Juan, by Lord Byron. I got:
2) The first chapter of Frankenstein, by Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley
3) Hmm, maybe they're just not distinctive enough. How about The Knight's Tale from Canterbury Tales
By Geoffrey Chaucer
Uh huh. Right.
4) Let's try someone who is actually like Shakespeare. So like Shakespeare in fact, that's he's often accused of writing some of the plays. Here's Marlowe's Edward II
Really? Really?
5) Maybe it's just a Western thing. Let's try the first novel ever. Chapter 1 of The Tale of Genji
Umm. Yeah.
6) I think I may be detecting some bias here. How about poetry? How about Ryunosuke Akutagawa? I did both haikus on the page:
Right.
I think I'm done.
