  • The Dream of Morpheus: a Character Study of Narrative Power in Neil Gaiman’S the Sandman
    – Centre for Languages and Literatur e English Studies The Dream of Morpheus: A Character Study of Narrative Power in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman Astrid Dock ENGK01 Degree project in English Literature Autumn Term 2018 Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Supervisor: Kiki Lindell Abstract This essay is primarily focused on the ambiguity surrounding Morpheus’ death in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. There is a divide in the character that is not reconciled within the comic: whether or not Morpheus is in control of the events that shape his death. Shakespeare scholars who have examined the series will have Morpheus in complete control of the narrative because of the similarities he shares with the character of Prospero. Yet the opposite argument, that Morpheus is a prisoner of Gaiman’s narrative, is enabled when he is compared to Milton’s Satan. There is sufficient evidence to support both readings. However, there is far too little material reconciling these two opposite interpretations of Morpheus’ character. The aim of this essay is therefore to discuss these narrative themes concerning Morpheus. Rather than Shakespeare’s Prospero and Milton’s Satan serving metonymic relationships with Morpheus, they should be respectively viewed as foils to further the ambiguous characterisation of the protagonist. With this reading, Morpheus becomes a character simultaneously devoid of, and personified by, narrative power. ii Table of Contents Introduction ...........................................................................................................................

  • Wendy in the Sandbag
    Wendy in the Sandbag By Robert Flanagan The 1st Radio Research Company (Aviation), euphemistic moniker for an Army Security Agency airborne operation which deployed to Viet Nam in 1967 under the code name CRAZY CAT and was, in a confusing interplay of cover names, re-named CEFLIEN LION (Sea-Flying Lion) by NSA. The “Crazy Cats” flew bastard step-child aircraft—the Navy’s cast off P-2V “Neptune,” six of which were acquired from the “boneyard” of military aircraft in Tucson, Ariz. The platform, flown out of Naval Air Facility/Air Force Base, Cam Ranh Bay in II Corps, was an intelligence collection project (initially manual Morse; later voice) which was to provide good intel to XXIV Corps and III MAF for some five years. Untold numbers of ARC LIGHT strikes and myriad tactical air attacks fell on targets acquired and “worked” by Crazy Cat. When I arrived in-country in September 1968 for my second tour, I came on orders for the 1RRC as Mission Controller on the P-2 flights. Initially hijacked by my own 224th Aviation Bn. headquarters to head up a job at Tan Son Nhut for four months, I finally reached CRB on New Year’s Day, 1969. After reporting in, getting briefed by a hung-over Exec, I was squired about the compound by a warrant officer pilot with an ulterior motive. First thing he showed me—before my billet room, before the latrine, before the messhall—was The Sandman Lounge. 1RRC had been in-country more than a year and had firmly established its priorities.

  • The Sand-Man by Ernst T.A
    1 The Sand-Man By Ernst T.A. Hoffmann Translated by J.Y. Bealby, B.A. Formerly Scholar of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1885 Nathanael to Lothair I KNOW you are all very uneasy because I have not written for such a long, long time. Mother, to be sure, is angry, and Clara, I dare say, believes I am living here in riot and revelry, and quite forgetting my sweet angel, whose image is so deeply engraved upon my heart and mind. But that is not so; daily and hourly do I think of you all, and my lovely Clara's form comes to gladden me in my dreams, and smiles upon me with her bright eyes, as graciously as she used to do in the days when I went in and out amongst you. Oh! how could I write to you in the distracted state of mind in which I have been, and which, until now, has quite bewildered me! A terrible thing has happened to me. Dark forebodings of some awful fate threatening me are spreading themselves out over my head like black clouds, impenetrable to every friendly ray of sunlight. I must now tell you what has taken place; I must, that I see well enough, but only to think upon it makes the wild laughter burst from my lips. Oh! my dear, dear Lothair, what shall I say to make you feel, if only in an inadequate way, that that which happened to me a few days ago could thus really exercise such a hostile and disturbing influence upon my life? Oh that you were here to see for yourself! but now you will, I suppose, take me for a superstitious ghost-seer.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Sandman, Aesthetics and Canonisation Today I Want To
    Sandman, Aesthetics and Canonisation Today I want to examine the ways in which Neil Gaiman’s Sandman has used narrative, format and aesthetic to move ever closer to the notion of the literary text. Particularly going to consider how it exploits the author function and enacts the struggle for cultural worth that comics seem consistently engaged in. Sandman is an epic series rewriting a golden-age superhero into an immortal deity. It is best remembered for its mythological content and literary references, and these elements have allowed it to claim its place as a canonised graphic novel (despite not actually being a singular GN but a maxi-series across multiple trade paperbacks!). Neil Gaiman’s authorship and authority dominate the text and epitomise Michel Foucault’s author function. But Sandman also draws heavily on mixed media and artistic variation and these aspects are less often discussed. Far from supporting a singular author function, Sandman’s visual style is multiple and varied. But despite this, in paratexts the artistic contributions are frequently subsumed into Gaiman’s authorship. However, a closer reading demonstrates that in fact this artistic variety destabilises clear-cut authorship and enacts the particular status struggles of comics as a collaborative medium struggling against the graphic novel branding. SLIDE: literary pix Sandman was launched in 1989 and became the flagship title for DC’s new Vertigo imprint. Vertigo’s publications contributed heavily to the mainstream cultural revaluation of comics as graphic novels, and critics such as Candace West have argued that Sandman in particular was instrumental here due to the attention the series received from mainstream media such as Rolling Stone magazine.
