Thanatos's Tharmturges Present: Tropical, Tipsy, and Typically Random Banter #127

[Phase]

Just read the weirdest thing yet in one of my course books about literary theory. In one of the chapters ('Ghosts') the writers mention a critic called Lacan who said this about Hamlet:
The ghost in Hamlet has to do with the phallus.
In a sense I could sort of understand. But it's also proof that theory is peculiar and that everything really can link back to sex.

I just had to share that because it's so weird.

I dunno, some things people link back to sex are rather... outlandish...

Like the movie Alien. People have all these comparisons, but I just don't see it. How could those monsters be anything related to sex?
