While these men are bickering at the gate, Julius questions Peters priestly power. Peter responds by saying, "Doubtless because I'm dead." I don't quite understand why but I love this line.

Monty Python?
This text had me rolling with laughter due to the overwhelming snark content. It was like the Monty Python of the middle ages. I understand why it was so wildly popular. I blogged last week about how difficult it is to understand some satire but it was pretty clear in this text. This text reminded me so much of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the knights were standing at the gate arguing with the Frenchmen. All I am suggesting is a deleted scene of the cast acting this text out. It would be phenomenal.

That's what I was thinking the whole time I was reading Julius Excluded! I was wishing that Monty Python had dramatized this because it would have been beautiful. There was so much delightful sarcasm that still translates - a lot of older humor fails to get to me, but I loved some of Peter's witticisms and the general ironic air.
ReplyDeleteThis actually makes me happy that people thought of this being like Monty Python, and this brings hope to the rest of the world for comedy's sake. Also, it is surprising how much you can learn through these satires.
