Unlike the therapists of today, he thought self-love needed no encouragement. Love others as you love yourself, was Jesus’s message. On this axiom temples have been built to the great god: “Me.” There are spa days, and candles around the bath, and all that slightly passive-aggressive talk about “boundaries.” The old religion has been turned on its head. It has become a mantra of our self-help culture that you cannot love other people unless you love yourself. Echo and Narcissus (1903) by John William Waterhouse: the philosopher Simon Blackburn argues that narcissism is on the rise ©Walker Art Gallery/ Bridgeman Art Library ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Classmates by Asumiko Nakamura![]() ![]() This tone is rather at odds with the pacing, as after the surprisingly quick romantic developments in the first chapter (titled “Summer”), the next chapter (“Autumn”) suggests that the two are walking home together but not doing much else, like they’ve stalled out. ![]() Certainly the readers don’t know much about them by this point or have any reason to root for them.Ĭlassmates sometimes tries to portray itself in a languid tone, such as how it attempts to establish the atmosphere around Kusakabe and Sajo before digging into their personal selves. Classmates takes this a bit too fast for even my tastes however: within the first chapter we have Kusakabe planting a kiss on Sajo and it feels like this is all happening before the boys even know each other. By not dragging things out the series got to be a story about characters in a relationship rather than a story about characters who might get into a relationship. ![]() ![]() That was something I enjoyed when reading the Kase-san and series. There is something to be said about romances that don’t engage in an overly long “will they or won’t they” period and cut to the chase. Kusakabe offers to tutor him until the day of the recital but it seems like these feelings might linger after that. While Kusukabe Hikaru and Sajo Rihito are second-year students in high school and in the same class, they’ve never really talked with each other before - not until Kusakabe finds Sajo hiding and secretly practicing a song for class. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other critics, however, assert that many of the themes and plot elements of the plays are unsuitable for children, the language too difficult, and. Such advocates of the early introduction of Shakespeare to children argue that if they become familiar with his work before its study in school becomes compulsory, they are less likely to feel intimidated by it. Some argue that primary school children are perfectly capable of grasping elements of Shakespeare’s work, gain pride and pleasure from an understanding of his language and enjoyment from his stories. Writing in the Independent in 2009 Caitlin Davies asks the questions ‘Should children be introduced to Shakespeare at the tender age of four? Or should we wait until they are eight, or even better, the teenage years, when they are able to understand some of the seventeenth-century language better? ’ These are questions over which critical opinion continues to be divided. ![]() ![]() ![]() The series then picks up nine years later with The Stranger from the Sea.
