Pseudolus 275-277 [1-6-2012]

Today I read pages 275 - 276 of Pseudolus. The play starts with Pseudolus begging Calidorus to tell him what is wrong with him. Calidorus has for days now appeared more dead then alive holding a letter in his hands and crying his eyes out. He won't talk to anyone and Pseudolus really wants to know what is making Calidorus so miserable. Calidorus tells Pseudolus that hes serving a sentence from love. He hands Pseudolus the letter but Pseudolus just sees chicken scratch on the paper compared to Calidorus's view of "the lovely letters of this lovely letter written in such a lovely hand." Calidorus thinks that Pseudolus is just making fun of the letter because he said he couldn't read it. He tells him either to read the letter or hand it back. Pseudolus chooses to read the letter. Its a letter from Calidorus's girlfriend sending him wishes in wood.

Snow in Midsummer 459 [1-4-2012]

Today I read page 459 of Snow in Midsummer. Dou E is leaving her father but stops to tell him about her mother-in-law. Dou E told Dou that Mrs. Cai is older now and has no one left to look out for her. Dou E asked her father to care for her mother-in-law. After Dou E exits Dou starts working on the case right after. At the break of dawn he ordered his servant to call the local officers and all those concerned in the case of Dou E. Dou then lets the people know that Donkey was the real Killer and he must be punished horribly for his crime and falsely accusing Dou E.

Snow in Midsummer 458-459 [1-3-2012]

Today I read pages 458 - 459 of Snow in Midsummer. Dou begins weeping about what has happened to his daughter. Dou E's case reminds Dou of a story in the Han Dynasty where a widow whose mother-in-law hung herself and whose sister-in-law accused her of murdering the women. She was executed by because of her unjust death there was no rain in that district for three years. After Lord Yu changed the verdict, killed a bull, and sacrificed at her grave it started rain really hard. Since Dou E's case is very similar Dou plans to right this wrong for his daughter the very next day.

Snow in Midsummer 457-458 [1-2-2012]

Today I read pages 457 - 458 of Snow in Midsummer. The vows that Dou E had made before she was executed that state if she was innocent when the sword took of her head not a drop of blood would stain the ground, Next, even though it was midsummer Heaven would send down three feet of snow to cover her body, and lastly, the district would suffer three years' drought. All of these vows came true after Dou E was executed. Dou E then tells her father to cut Donkey into pieces and avenge her wrong.

Snow in Midsummer 457-458 [12-23-2011]

Today I read pages 457 - 458 of Snow in Midsummer. Dou asks Dou E if shes the girl accused of murdering her father-in-law and Dou E tells him she is. Dou then begins lecturing Dou E on what shes done and demands that she tells him the truth and if she as much as says one false word he'll send her to the tutelary god so her spirit can never re-enter human form and she will stay a "hungry ghost forever in the shades." Dou E told him the whole story. Every bit of it. She told him that she wasn't actually the murderer.
