Response to Ryan Yost's post

"Red Hot Cajun Love" I like it. I don't understand the last line of your post: "the confines of marriage shouldn't always come from the needs of the individual." My dyslexia could be keeping me from reading it in the way you meant it. I agree with you that this issue has been controversial from, basically, the beginning of time. I think that it is deemed acceptable and/or appropriate by more and more people for many reasons: culture changes, desensitization, media resources, etc.
Regarding the last line, I would agree that the "happiness" referred is probably the bliss ignorance of the spouses along with the satisfaction and relief from Alcee and Calixa. Unfortunately I don't have much to say about this essay--no relation to your response at all. I'm sure this won't be the first time I'll feel that way about a piece of literature though. : )
