I have been emailed by a few of you bright young things regarding insights into the text not discussed in class. I feel that, whilst this is entirely welcome and appropriate, how unfortunate it would be if the thoughts and reflections were limited to myself and sender only.
Therefore, I have established this blog which we can all access at any time to drop in thoughts and questions regarding Arcadia . Seeing as we spend so little time together and will be faced with innumerable obstructions to free-range literature discussion in class due to course requirements and logistical necessities, should people not feel suitably enlightened or fulfilled in class, they can voice their concerns online for the perusal and comment of their peers.
Let's hope that we have a significant demand for the forum - get commenting!

Guess what? My dream came true and I finally found my copy of Arcadia!
I had no idea where to leave this, so here seemed the most appropriate.
I have be told to put this on here :)
Okay, you know how Septimus, throughout the play, has been trying to "save the world" by attempting to disprove Thomasina's theory about thermodynamics. This is slightly ironic, as after Thomasina dies from a fire started by Septimus, accidentally, he realises he loves her and wants to be able to take back the heat from the fire that killed her, and because of this he finds out Thomasina's theory is true, and the room can be fixed up, but the heat that killed her can't be taken back, and she can't come back.
Yeah, so there you go, hard to explain, sounded better in my head :)
