ona beslediğim bu saçma sevgi, benim için kavranması olanaksız bir gizlem olarak kalıyor. neden ölümüyle ölmek isteyecek ölçüde çok seviyordum onu, bilmiyorum.

When your dad is a famous philosopher who was castrated by your great-uncle, and your mother was forced to join a convent before she gave birth to you, but the most interesting thing about you is still your goofy-ass robot name.

This song always gives me: "Erik has just sang Christine to sleep on the first night in his home and fears what will happen once she awakens" vibes.

Another thing I didn't remember, is that the famous "Abelard and Heloise scene" has parallel with Ursula.
L: "Do I have to marry, Cesare?"
C: "No. You can take the cloth like me. You can become a nun. We'll live in sanctity and prayer, like Abelard and Eloise."
L: "Did they love each other?"
C: "With a love as pure and all-consuming as the love of God."
L: "So, then. I shall become a nun. For I shall never love a husband as I love you, Cesare."
A comparison Lucrezia was willing to embrace, but Ursula refused, because she recongnized Cesare's possessiveness and lack of moral restraint as a sign his love could never be pure. Only all-consuming.
U: "And now I must live my life in penance, praying for forgiveness."
C: "Where?"
U: "You will not know where."
C: "You mean a nunnery?"
U: "I mean confinement."
C: "I will search you out. Like Abelard and Eloise. You may find a nunnery cell, but you will never be free of me!"
U: "You are right. I will never be free of you."
Lucrezia even brings out the story in the very same episode again, only to still keep the romanticised view, never questioning her brother's unwillingness to respect his lover's decision. Believing it to be an obstacle caused by outside forces.
L: "And you, Brother? What of your heart?"
C: "It was broken-by a nun."
L: "A nun? Like Eloise? Will you spend a lifetime writing to her?"
C: "I could if I knew where she was."
L: "But you can find out, surely."
C: "I intend to."
L: "How wonderful."
I might get back to this theme, but it would have made interesting string, if we were given that last season, with Cesare searching for Lucrezia after she disappears, guilt-ridden from her husband's (another parallel) death.

A thing you need to know is that the famous lovers Heloise and Abelard - a pair of quite well-known Christian philosophers from earlyish medieval France who are also pretty well known for the fact that Heloise’s relatives later broke in to Abelard’s rooms and castrated him one evening - did in fact have one child together.
They called the poor kid Astrolabe.
*Astrolabe.*
I‘m generally quite a big fan of Heloise (I go back and forth on Abelard and quite often want to slap him) but she chose the name and that’s serious child cruelty.
That’s like modern parents calling a kid GPS 🤣
This is what a 12th century European astrolabe looks like btw. It’s a nautical navigation device which had been around since the classical period all over Asia, Europe and Africa.
They were such utter nerds calling their kid after that. (As an utter nerd, I do get the impulse 😄)
It does make Astrolabe *really* easy to track through the records *because no one fucking else is called fucking Astrolabe*.
(Astrolabe was raised by Abelard’s sister Denise because his parents were too busy being religious philosophers. I can’t help picturing her calling him Astro Boy (Garçon d’Astro?). His folks, particularly Abelard, did at least try to help him out in his career in the church when he was older, though given Abelard was basically a walking argument that pissed everyone around him off almost continuously that might actually have been more of a hindrance than a help…)
