Four versions of this recording were available. He was raised in a cultured Jewish household where art, literature, music, and poetry were not only appreciated, but were a way of life. His father was Leonid Osipovich Pasternak, a portrait painter and art teacher, and his mother was pianist Rosa Isidorovna maiden name: Kaufman. They were part of a privileged, cultured, Moscow art circle which included the author Tolstoy, and the co mposers Scriabin and Rachmaninov, among others. Young Pasternak initially chose music as his passion and at the age of fourteen began his study at the Moscow Conservatory. However, he rejected such study afer six years, due to the gap between his mental musical ideal and his lesser technical ability. He was later a student of philosophy, and interrupted his studies at Moscow University in to study under neo-Kantian philosopher Hermann Cohen at the University of Marburg in Germany. He then turned from philosophy to the study of poetry, reportedly sparked by his lover's rejection of his marriage proposal.

He spent the war years working in a factory in the Ural Mountains. In , while Russia was feeling the effects of the Russian Revolution, Pasternak was in Moscow working on "Sestra moia zhizn" My Sister, Life , a volume of poetry which was published in While the Revolution was expressed in much of the tone of this volume, the Revolution also forced Pasternak's parents to move to Germany. His father's job as a portrait painter stres sed a focus on the individual, and that was in opposition to Communist Party thought. Pasternak had limited contact with his parents after that. He had published his first prose work, Detstvo Luvers the Childhood of Luvers in With the publication of "Temy y variatsi," anothe r volume of poetry, in , Pasternak had established himself as a foremost Russian poet of the day. He published several other works in the 's, but when Stalin took over the government in , Pasternak muted his productivity. The government C.

According to the critic Guy de Mallac, "Pasternak called and his years of deep spiritual crisis and change. He met and fell in love with Olga Ivinskaya, a n editiorial assistant for the Soviet monthly periodical, Novy Mir. They began an affair a year later. Ivinskaya is thought to be the inspiration for Lara in Doctory Zhivago. It was during these times when Pasternak began to draft his story of Doctor Zhivago, but published nothing for fear of government disapproval. While Pasternak escaped arrest during this time of regulation, Olga was not as fortunate. She was arrested in for having "engaged in anti-Soviet discourse" with Pasternak. She refused to incriminate Pasternak, and, pregnant with his child, was sent to prison. Ivinskaya miscarried while in prison, where she remained until , the year of Stali n's death. In , during Kruschev's de-Stalinization "thaw," Pasternak submitted his manuscript of Doctor Zhivago to Novy Mir for publication, and to the Italian publisher Feltrinelli.

Feltrinelli refused to return the manuscript, and Doctor Zhivago was published in Italian in Feltrinelli also acted as Pa sternak's agent to the Western world.

It is easy to predict that Boris Pasternak's book, one of the most significant of our time and a literary event of the first order, will have a brilliant future. Many reviewers pointed out the book's reliance on coincidence and the fact that many characters drift in and out of the plot without ever gripping the reader. However, no review was unfavorable. The reviews which included criticism still produced a very positive opinion of 'Doctor Zhivago' overall. Pasternak's typically Russian style of "begin[ning] his stanzas with a predicate and not arriv[ing] at the subject till the final line," bothered Wilson a bit, since Pasternak "lays it on in a remorseless way," but for the majority of the review Wilson is very complementary, calling the novel "one of the very great books of our time.

Inside there was an article "What Soviets are saying about the writers they are resurrecting. Josipovici was reviewing "Second nature," a posthumously published book of Pasternak's poetry, and begins with opinions on "Doctor Zhivago. Re-reading the novel after twenty-five years I found myself in substantial agreement. The most striking example of "Doctor Zhivago's" impact was found in the March 7, issue of "The New York Review of Books" - thirty-three years after its American publication, there was a four page book review of "Doctor Zhivago. Pritchett, a conoisseur of the Russian novel, called it the best to come out of Russia since the revolution, 'a work of genius. Vladimir Nabokov. They are included on the "source list," for they were indicative of the book's reception, even if they were not reviews. American bestsellers have certain traits in common. They are normally large novels, written in the standard narrative format, with the author as a sort of storyteller. They also tend, in their subject matter, t o meet some need of the public. The Robe, for example, arriving at the end of WWII, provided religious affirmation in a time of suffering, as well as showing the decay and overthrow of an evil empire. This was comforting to American readers as "their bo ys" were also attempting to destroy the evil empire of Naziism and fascism. Doctor Zhivago, the first and only novel by Russian poet Boris Pasternak, follows these best-selling traits. More than anything else, it is the content of the novel and the soci ety into which it was delivered that determined its success. The book's attention to familiar issues, the anti- communist climate that existed in America when the book was published, and the ordeal involving the Nobel Prize and Pasternak were the major re asons for Doctor Zhivago's extreme popularity. Yuri Zhivago, the novel's protagonist, was a man that America could love. He was a doctor, long a highly-respected profession in the United States. As such, he was a useful person, he was doing positive things for society. Yuri's industriousness and love of his work was often mentioned in Doctor Zhivago. Americans in respected this work ethic, and was striving for it themselves. Yuri had the "perfect family" of the? Yet Yuri was also a dreamer, a poet on the side, and was madly in love with the beautiful and spirited Lara. She, the object of his infatuation and his adultery, was genetically blessed in terms of looks, intelligence, and personality, but had a slightly scandalous background. Her husband was a famed leader of the new Red military, legendary in his efficiency and effectiveness, engrossed in the war he was waging. Although secretly long ing for his family, Antipov had disappeared for years, obsessed with his work. This was a situation that was very easy for America to swallow, probably because of its familiarity. Those shiny plasticine households were veneers for many affairs simil ar to that of Yuri and Lara. The appeal and positive portrayal of those two in the novel aroused the sympathies and quelled the consciences of Zhivago's American readers. Another issue in Doctor Zhivago that American readers could relate to was the question of discrimination against Jews, especially the somewhat puzzling illogicality of it. This situation was present in both the Russia that Pasternak described and the Am erica that the readers knew. Jews, despite success, kindness, and intelligence, were often the objects of discrimination. Doctor Zhivago had already addressed the issue within the first chapter, as the thoughts of Misha, the child of a Jewish lawyer, w ere revealed: "For as long as he could remember he had never ceased to wonder why, having arms and legs like everyone else, and a language and way of life common to all, one could be different from others, liked by only a few, and loved by no one. He could not u nderstand a situation in which if you were worse than other people you could not make an effort to improve yourself. What did it mean to be a Jew? What was the purpose of it? What was the reward or the justification of this impotent challenge, wh ich brought nothing but grief? Also, "In the course of the long journey, the suicide had come several times t o their compartment and had talked with Misha's father for hours on end. He had said that he found relief in the moral decency, peace, and understanding which he discovered in him. This ironic state of affairs existed in America at the time of Zhivago's publication, as shown by the book, The Status Seekers. Chapter 19 was entitled "The special status problem of jews," and began with: "One of the persistent puzzles of American life is the tendency in thousands of communities to erect barriers against Jews. If the Jew meets all the eligibility requirements, why isn't he accepted? Why do the barriers persist against him all across the American landscape, in both business and social life? Americans could thus relate to the odd situation of Jews presented in Doctor Zhivago, and puzzle along with the characters as to not only why Jews were discriminated against, but why they themselves held some mild anti-Jewish sentiments. Perhaps the most stirring sentiment in Doctor Zhivago to which Americans could relate was that of anti-Communism. Actually, upon carefully reading the novel one can see that it is really not an anti-Red political statement, but an ode to the individual in every context. However, in promoting the individual, Pasternak necessarily deconstructed the extreme Socialism which existed in Russia at the time of the novel. As a result, any red-blooded interesting irony there American who was on a hunt for ant i-Marxist statements could definitely find them in Doctor Zhivago. And good Americans in were definitely anti-communist. McCarthyism had dominated the preceding decade, and anti- Communism was prevalent. The Communist threat was a "national obsession," as Ellen Schrecker noted in The Age of McCarthyism, mostly due to the role of the federal government. With both Democrats and Republicans "believing that Communism threatened the nation," the anti-Communist feelings ran rampant. There were over a million copies in print, with statements like "The w orld is divided into three major areas: there is the Communist area, a great prison containing a billion slaves; there is what is known as the Free World consisting of America and her allies; and between these two there is the vast, uncommitted area of th e world which numbers one billion people. This environment was almost searching for Doctor Zhivago, with Yuri and his anti-Red musings. Zhivago thinks, "What kind of people are they, to go on raving with this never-cooling, feverish ardor, year in, year out, on nonexistent, long-vanished subjec ts, and to know nothing, to see nothing around them? The reader now has a confirmed picture of the delusional communist, a revolutionary lunatic, which is the picture he was seeking. In contrast, the reader is presented with Yuri Zhivago, a man w hose attractiveness was already discussed, an educated, well-bred Russian in search of the truth. This confirms any suspicion that the reader might have about the Russian people; no, the whole country is not evil, but the admirable Russians, like Yuri, a re anti-Red. Yuri is too intelligent, too thoughtful, to be consumed by the revolutionary hype ". Second, it is so far from being pu t into practice, and the mere talk about it has cost such a sea of blood, that I'm not sure that the end justifies the means. And last - and this is the main thing - when I hear people speak of reshaping life it makes me lose my self-control and fal l into despair. Reshaping life! People who can say that have never understood a thing about life - they have never felt its breath, its heartbeat - however much they have seen or done" Yuri has the Communists never understanding a thing about life. Since the American reader is anti-Communist, he acquires a feeling of wisdom; he, like Yuri, understands life. Other characters contribute, too: Kostoied argued that "When the revolution woke [the peasant] up, he decided that his century-old dream was coming true. Instead he "found he had only exchanged the oppression of the former state for the new, much ha rsher yoke of the revolutionary superstate" Lara also helps: "As soon as we became part of Soviet Russia we were sucked into its ruin. To keep going, they take everything from us" There is, of course, Yuri's oft-quoted, "I don't know a movement more self-centered and further removed from the facts than Marxism. Everyone is only worried about proving himself in practical matters, and as for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish their infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth" This statement, especially the first sentence, found its way into many articles on the novel. Both "Doctor Zhivago is far too good a novel to be read pr imarily as an anti-Marxist polemic, although it does contain some breathtaking anti- Marxist passages," and, "There is in Doctor Zhivago an unyielding suggestion that. Such a hopeful suggestion is in accordance with America's desire for their democratic liberty to triumph over Communism. Ever yone likes to believe he is right. Such appeal was enhanced by the fact that the Soviet government had forbidden the novel's publication in Russia. As early as January 27, , Pantheon ads i n Publisher's Weekly had Doctor Zhivago at the top of the list, with the following description: "This is the monumental novel of Russia's greatest living poet in its uncensored form, that was suppressed in Russia and first published in translation. This rene gade portrayal of Pasternak is continued in a large Pantheon ad from May, "The greatest poet in Soviet Russia dared to write the truth about man's fate during the Russian revolution, in a novel in which tender, idyllic scenes alternate with scenes o f cruelty and horror, destructive of all human happiness. In general, both the ads and the articles of the time speak highl y of Pasternak and of the book's literary value, in addition to its controversial history. Both the literary merit and the controversy were amplified when Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 23, It is an obvious aid to the best-selling capability of a book when the author wins a Nobel Prize less than two mont hs post-[American] publication. While Pasternak initially accepted the award with the statement that he was "infinitely grateful, touched, proud, surprised, [and] overwhelmed," he came under such attack in Russia that he refused the Nobel Prize on October 29, "in view of the meaning given the award by the society in which I live. These events propelled the book, which already hit the best-seller list in late September, to even greater heights of popularity. Dr Zhivago Level 5 Satın Al: İstanbul Kitapçısı

Unfortunately, justice still eluded Zhivago. Indeed, his likeness is missing from my nesting doll set of great Russian writers. And yet, despite it all, the novel has always ranked among my favorites. The latter was particularly important to Pasternak, a celebrated translator himself. The challenge of tackling these sentences comes on top of problems built into the Russian language. Having not seen Lara Antipova since they served together as medical volunteers in World War I, Yuri Zhivago spots her from across the room in a small-town library on the edge of the Ural Mountains. Unfortunately, the Pevear-Volokhonsky version is confounding:. He saw her almost from behind, her back half turned. She was wearing a light- colored checkered blouse tied with a belt, and was reading eagerly, with self-abandon, as children do, her head slightly inclined towards her right shoulder. Now and then she lapsed into thought, raising her eyes to the ceiling or narrowing them and peering somewhere far ahead of her, and then again, propped on her elbow, her head resting on her hand, in a quick sweeping movement she penciled some notes in her notebook. This passage raises several questions. If Yuri can hardly see her, how can he observe her raising and narrowing her eyes? And why does Lara seem to be pantomiming the act of reading? He could see her profile, half turned away from him. She was wearing a light- coloured check blouse with a belt, and was immersed in what she was reading, oblivious of everything else, like a child. Her head was bent a little to one side, towards her right shoulder. Doctor Zhivago, first published Sept. What is unclear is whether this tenth printing was of the first, p, edition, or if it marked the first printing of the second, p, edition. The second edition was published in , and there would have only been one month left of at this time. Also, upon first-hand examination of two different p, 2nd edition copies, both list the nine printings and no more. If pressed to give a number, I would say that the first edition went through nine printings. Booksellers on Bibliofind have reported 2nd editions p with printings as high as the 41st printing. So the second edition possibly went through at least 41 printings. There were several editions of Doctor Zhivago from other publishers. Fontana Modern Novels London: Fontana, , Everyman's Library series. New York: Knopf, Everyman's Library Series Harlow: Nelson, Doctor Zhivago is currently in print. There are definitely three editions in print; one from Pantheon, one from Ballantine, and one from Buccaneer Books.

There is still a great deal of academic review of Doctor Zhivago; aside from numerous books, academic journals still write on "Zhivago" frequently, especially those which focus on russian writers. References to Doctor Zhivago appear in reviews of or articles about other books. Such books necessarily spend a great deal of time on "Doctor Zhivago," its writing, the events surrounding it and "the Pasternak affair," see 2 and 3; for the purposes of this assignment I am referring to the affair as the banning of the book in Russia, the Russian government's attack on Pasternak, including the imprisonment of Olga Ivanskaya and the restraints which Pasternak lived under for the remainder of his life , and the author's feelings about the book. Peter Levi's "Boris Pasternak: A Biography" begins its "Doctor Zhivago" chapter with, "Thirty years after the death of the author and the hushing of the storm it gave rise to, 'Doctor Zhivago' retains its freshness and its mystery. Critics have found it many-faceted and enigmatic, but as time passes that does not matter in the least. Spender was the editor of "Encounter" in , when the magazine published Edmund Wilson's article exploring the "hidden system of meaning" in "Doctor Zhivago," in which, it had been claimed, Pasternak's characters were "insufficiently realized. He explained his desire and attempt to convey reality, the world, as "a great moving entity - a developing, passing, rolling rushing inspiration. Rather than delineate [my characters], I was trying to efface them. I wanted to show the unrestrained freedom of life. People who like 'The Little Prince [referred to two sentences before as "a book for people who do not read books] will prefer Dostoevsky. Inside there was an article "What Soviets are saying about the writers they are resurrecting. Josipovici was reviewing "Second nature," a posthumously published book of Pasternak's poetry, and begins with opinions on "Doctor Zhivago. Re-reading the novel after twenty-five years I found myself in substantial agreement. The most striking example of "Doctor Zhivago's" impact was found in the March 7, issue of "The New York Review of Books" - thirty-three years after its American publication, there was a four page book review of "Doctor Zhivago. Pritchett, a conoisseur of the Russian novel, called it the best to come out of Russia since the revolution, 'a work of genius. Vladimir Nabokov. They are included on the "source list," for they were indicative of the book's reception, even if they were not reviews. American bestsellers have certain traits in common. They are normally large novels, written in the standard narrative format, with the author as a sort of storyteller. They also tend, in their subject matter, t o meet some need of the public. The Robe, for example, arriving at the end of WWII, provided religious affirmation in a time of suffering, as well as showing the decay and overthrow of an evil empire. This was comforting to American readers as "their bo ys" were also attempting to destroy the evil empire of Naziism and fascism. Doctor Zhivago, the first and only novel by Russian poet Boris Pasternak, follows these best-selling traits. More than anything else, it is the content of the novel and the soci ety into which it was delivered that determined its success. The book's attention to familiar issues, the anti-communist climate that existed in America when the book was published, and the ordeal involving the Nobel Prize and Pasternak were the major re asons for Doctor Zhivago's extreme popularity. Yuri Zhivago, the novel's protagonist, was a man that America could love. He was a doctor, long a highly- respected profession in the United States. As such, he was a useful person, he was doing positive things for society. Yuri's industriousness and love of his work was often mentioned in Doctor Zhivago. Americans in respected this work ethic, and was striving for it themselves. Yuri had the "perfect family" of the? Yet Yuri was also a dreamer, a poet on the side, and was madly in love with the beautiful and spirited Lara. She, the object of his infatuation and his adultery, was genetically blessed in terms of looks, intelligence, and personality, but had a slightly scandalous background. Her husband was a famed leader of the new Red military, legendary in his efficiency and effectiveness, engrossed in the war he was waging. Although secretly long ing for his family, Antipov had disappeared for years, obsessed with his work. This was a situation that was very easy for America to swallow, probably because of its familiarity. Those shiny plasticine households were veneers for many affairs simil ar to that of Yuri and Lara. The appeal and positive portrayal of those two in the novel aroused the sympathies and quelled the consciences of Zhivago's American readers. Another issue in Doctor Zhivago that American readers could relate to was the question of discrimination against Jews, especially the somewhat puzzling illogicality of it. This situation was present in both the Russia that Pasternak described and the Am erica that the readers knew. Jews, despite success, kindness, and intelligence, were often the objects of discrimination. Doctor Zhivago had already addressed the issue within the first chapter, as the thoughts of Misha, the child of a Jewish lawyer, w ere revealed: "For as long as he could remember he had never ceased to wonder why, having arms and legs like everyone else, and a language and way of life common to all, one could be different from others, liked by only a few, and loved by no one. He could not u nderstand a situation in which if you were worse than other people you could not make an effort to improve yourself. What did it mean to be a Jew? What was the purpose of it? What was the reward or the justification of this impotent challenge, wh ich brought nothing but grief? Also, "In the course of the long journey, the suicide had come several times t o their compartment and had talked with Misha's father for hours on end. He had said that he found relief in the moral decency, peace, and understanding which he discovered in him. This ironic state of affairs existed in America at the time of Zhivago's publication, as shown by the book, The Status Seekers. Chapter 19 was entitled "The special status problem of jews," and began with: "One of the persistent puzzles of American life is the tendency in thousands of communities to erect barriers against Jews. If the Jew meets all the eligibility requirements, why isn't he accepted? Why do the barriers persist against him all across the American landscape, in both business and social life? Americans could thus relate to the odd situation of Jews presented in Doctor Zhivago, and puzzle along with the characters as to not only why Jews were discriminated against, but why they themselves held some mild anti-Jewish sentiments. Perhaps the most stirring sentiment in Doctor Zhivago to which Americans could relate was that of anti-Communism. Actually, upon carefully reading the novel one can see that it is really not an anti-Red political statement, but an ode to the individual in every context. However, in promoting the individual, Pasternak necessarily deconstructed the extreme Socialism which existed in Russia at the time of the novel. As a result, any red-blooded interesting irony there American who was on a hunt for ant i-Marxist statements could definitely find them in Doctor Zhivago. And good Americans in were definitely anti-communist. McCarthyism had dominated the preceding decade, and anti-Communism was prevalent. The Communist threat was a "national obsession," as Ellen Schrecker noted in The Age of McCarthyism, mostly due to the role of the federal government. With both Democrats and Republicans "believing that Communism threatened the nation," the anti-Communist feelings ran rampant. There were over a million copies in print, with statements like "The w orld is divided into three major areas: there is the Communist area, a great prison containing a billion slaves; there is what is known as the Free World consisting of America and her allies; and between these two there is the vast, uncommitted area of th e world which numbers one billion people. This environment was almost searching for Doctor Zhivago, with Yuri and his anti-Red musings. Zhivago thinks, "What kind of people are they, to go on raving with this never-cooling, feverish ardor, year in, year out, on nonexistent, long-vanished subjec ts, and to know nothing, to see nothing around them? The reader now has a confirmed picture of the delusional communist, a revolutionary lunatic, which is the picture he was seeking. In contrast, the reader is presented with Yuri Zhivago, a man w hose attractiveness was already discussed, an educated, well-bred Russian in search of the truth. This confirms any suspicion that the reader might have about the Russian people; no, the whole country is not evil, but the admirable Russians, like Yuri, a re anti-Red. Yuri is too intelligent, too thoughtful, to be consumed by the revolutionary hype ". Second, it is so far from being pu t into practice, and the mere talk about it has cost such a sea of blood, that I'm not sure that the end justifies the means. And last - and this is the main thing - when I hear people speak of reshaping life it makes me lose my self-control and fal l into despair. Reshaping life! People who can say that have never understood a thing about life - they have never felt its breath, its heartbeat - however much they have seen or done" Yuri has the Communists never understanding a thing about life. Since the American reader is anti-Communist, he acquires a feeling of wisdom; he, like Yuri, understands life. Other characters contribute, too: Kostoied argued that "When the revolution woke [the peasant] up, he decided that his century-old dream was coming true. Instead he "found he had only exchanged the oppression of the former state for the new, much ha rsher yoke of the revolutionary superstate" Lara also helps: "As soon as we became part of Soviet Russia we were sucked into its ruin. To keep going, they take everything from us" There is, of course, Yuri's oft-quoted, "I don't know a movement more self-centered and further removed from the facts than Marxism. Everyone is only worried about proving himself in practical matters, and as for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish their infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth" This statement, especially the first sentence, found its way into many articles on the novel. Both "Doctor Zhivago is far too good a novel to be read pr imarily as an anti-Marxist polemic, although it does contain some breathtaking anti-Marxist passages," and, "There is in Doctor Zhivago an unyielding suggestion that. Such a hopeful suggestion is in accordance with America's desire for their democratic liberty to triumph over Communism. Ever yone likes to believe he is right. Such appeal was enhanced by the fact that the Soviet government had forbidden the novel's publication in Russia. As early as January 27, , Pantheon ads i n Publisher's Weekly had Doctor Zhivago at the top of the list, with the following description: "This is the monumental novel of Russia's greatest living poet in its uncensored form, that was suppressed in Russia and first published in translation. This rene gade portrayal of Pasternak is continued in a large Pantheon ad from May, "The greatest poet in Soviet Russia dared to write the truth about man's fate during the Russian revolution, in a novel in which tender, idyllic scenes alternate with scenes o f cruelty and horror, destructive of all human happiness. In general, both the ads and the articles of the time speak highl y of Pasternak and of the book's literary value, in addition to its controversial history. Both the literary merit and the controversy were amplified when Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 23, It is an obvious aid to the best-selling capability of a book when the author wins a Nobel Prize less than two mont hs post-[American] publication. While Pasternak initially accepted the award with the statement that he was "infinitely grateful, touched, proud, surprised, [and] overwhelmed," he came under such attack in Russia that he refused the Nobel Prize on October 29, "in view of the meaning given the award by the society in which I live. These events propelled the book, which already hit the best-seller list in late September, to even greater heights of popularity. Pantheon went through three printings of Doctor Zhivago in just one week, bringing the total number of copies to ,, with at least 50, on back order research fr. He saw her almost from behind, her back half turned. She was wearing a light-colored checkered blouse tied with a belt, and was reading eagerly, with self-abandon, as children do, her head slightly inclined towards her right shoulder. Now and then she lapsed into thought, raising her eyes to the ceiling or narrowing them and peering somewhere far ahead of her, and then again, propped on her elbow, her head resting on her hand, in a quick sweeping movement she penciled some notes in her notebook. This passage raises several questions. If Yuri can hardly see her, how can he observe her raising and narrowing her eyes? And why does Lara seem to be pantomiming the act of reading? He could see her profile, half turned away from him. She was wearing a light-coloured check blouse with a belt, and was immersed in what she was reading, oblivious of everything else, like a child. Her head was bent a little to one side, towards her right shoulder. From time to time she looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought, or screwed up her eyes and stared straight ahead; then she would lean her elbows back on the table, prop her head on one hand and copy something down into her notebook with a brisk, sweeping flourish of her pencil. Doctor Zhivago is a long book. Mulling over her abusive relationship with the much older and wealthy Komarovsky, Lara thinks,. What is it that terrifies us — thunder and lightning? Life is full of treachery and ambiguity. A single thread is as fragile as gossamer, pull it and it snaps; but try to get out of the web and you only tangle yourself up worse. And the mean and weak rule over the strong.
