Talk:Adultery in literature

message: I was considering adding Othello to this... does anyone agree?  No adultery occurs but it sure is dicussed a lot, and, of course, Othello thinks it has occurred throughout most of the story. Tokerboy
:What about adding the above comment as well? KF 15:56 Feb 8, 2003 (UTC)
*The comment on The Country Wife says "The characters treat adultery as a game, the object being to commit as much of it as possible without losing ones reputation, and while preventing one's spouse from committing any." And in the list of works, The Country Wife is marked with "M,F", for male and female adulterers, with the addition "in fact pretty much every character in the play". I know that that description represents a common perception of what goes on in the play — everybody married, everybody fucking like rabbits — and I hope nobody minds, but I'm going to change it, because it's not true. An adulterer is a married person who has sex outside marriage. Well, four people out of the very large cast of The Country Wife fit that description, and they're all women. Since Horner is an unmarried and uncommitted male, he commits not adultery but fornication (with the four of them). Male adultery not only doesn't happen in the play, it isn't even an issue, and no spouses try to prevent it. For an account of what the goals of the characters are, please see my recent update of The Country Wife (it was a 1911 EB text dump before).--Bishonen 16:26, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If you do a WP search with for example: adulter* deepcat:"18th-century novels", you get a list of all WP articles in the :category:18th-century novels (plus sub-categories) in which the words adultery, adulterous, adulteress etc. occur.

Talk:William Ewart Gladstone

message: Gladstone did not get a double first. He failed to meet the residence requirement and took his degree automatically as the son of a peer. Also the discussion of the Oxford Union rather understates his relationship to it which was rather more central. Gladstone founded another debate society known as the WEG. The Union was founded five years before Gladstone matriculated but it was just one of many debate societies in the early years. Gladstone performed a sort of reverse merger, folding the WEG into the Union. He then used the Oxford Union and the Liberal Club as ongoing political vehicles throughout his career.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:5C4A:FA00:FD68:FEBA:1DE8:E321 (talk) 04:20, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Eastphalian language

message: "Eastphalian" seems like the English translation of the language.  Could someone let us know what it calls itself? -- Zoe
It's "Ostfälisch" in Standard German, but that's not a whole lot of help.
Ethnologue doesn't give it a separate article, so that resource doesn't say.
-- Toby 06:14 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)
Regarding "Elbe Eastphalian" I have removed Eastern Germany and Aschersleben: 
- First, the area mentioned is part of the same region. After 18 years since the wall came down - there is no need to point out that this part belonged to the former GDR for a while and since it has little to no relevance for the existence of this dialect.
- Secondly, Aschersleben seems do be a mistake. It is located right off the "border line" in an adjacent area, but where a central German dialect (Anhaltisch) is spoken. Most likely Oschersleben was meant, where the local Dr. Ziethen publishing house printed a number of books in Eastphalian dialect.
