cut from Moshunsky. effect to not contrasr his eloquence with M's. also shows his experience of listening to patrician speeches

M speaks angrily in Moshinsky's film. Doesn'tfit with M as eloquent patrician who treats the people well while looking down on them privately
h’otherinstrumentsDidseeandhear,devise,instruct,walk,feel,85And,mutuallyparticipate,didministerUntotheappetiteandaffectioncommonOfthewholebody
The implication is that the stomach (the patricians) does none of these. Not seeing, hearing, ... feeling mutually participating?
as Menenius dubs the first citizen"great toe,"one o'th' lowest, basest, poor- est," and"ras
maybe M turns to insult because first citizen can meet him on his own terms in terms of rhetoric so M turns to metaphor as insult to put him back in his place

A bed supported on massive pillars of mahogany, hung with curtains of deep red damask, stood out like a tabernacle in the centre; the two large windows, with their blinds always drawn down, were half shrouded in festoons and falls of similar drapery; the carpet was red; the table at the foot of the bed was covered with a crimson cloth; the walls were a soft fawn colour, with a blush of pink in it; the wardrobe, the toilet-table, the chairs were of darkly polished old mahogany

If Creon has sacrificed his son to save Thebes, he is unlikely to be sympathetic to Antigone's desire to bury Polynices. this refers to Maurice Druon's version?
Antigone was written by Sophocles before the other 2 plays. Does this have any impact on my statement above?

Middle English from Old French descrier, meaning ‘publish or proclaim’

Adam seems to misunderstand that Eve's comments regarding their conversations were in regard to their interrupting the necessary work in the garden. Adam appears to understand her comment as meaning that she has had enough conversation and needs a break from it.

Adam's opinion is different from Eve's - he seems to feel that caring for the garden is easy, while Eve seems overwhelmed by it.
unearn'd. Labor is not alien to Milton's Paradise; rather it is considered proper to human dignity and its performance made food, drink and rest more pleasurable (4.328). The notion of earning one's supper by work does, however, seem at odds with Paradise; Adam was quite ready to take an afternoon off to entertain Raphael.
Perhaps because she feels overwhelmed by the amount of work that the garden requires, and that continual interruptions mean that they are not keeping up with it: 'what we by day Lop overgrown, or prune, or prop, or bind, [ 210 ] One night or two with wanton growth derides Tending to wilde.'
averse. Opposite.
In the sense of being derived from the Latin aversus 'turned away from'.
