MY G.E. CLASS LITERALLY EXPECTS ME TO HAVE AN ENTIRE DAY OFF TO WRITE 8-12 PAGES OF WORK FOR OUR MIDTERM? IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK????? HOW DO I TELL MY PROFESSOR THEY'RE INSANE?????? THIS IS AN ONLINE CLASS WITH NO SCHEDULE
It's like "First part is multiple choice. Now I'm giving you a couple questions you need to answer with a paragraph each. Now you need to do 2 essays. Now you need to do another essay. Relax, you get the whole day to do it (idc if you have a schedule that doesn't let you chillax for the whole day outta nowhere lol)!"
Literally the only work for this class has been writing like 2 paragraphs of work each week after an 8 min video lecture
And the midterm is this

- g.e.
omg yes i know!!! honestly it's definitely smthn that needs to be handled with care bc of how much of an effect it can have but edging and denial can also be so fun to play with if you and the person you're playing with are both in the headspace for it

Happy Father's Day from G.E. Lessing
(and somebody who has very obviously never read Emilia Galotti)
In my limited firsthand experience within the German educational system, Nathan the Wise is taught as a characteristic text of the 18th century and its interest in religious tolerance, overcoming superstition and prejudice, and the interrelation of humanity. And it's not not that.
But it's pretty hard to talk to about the plays Very Important Theme of Being a Dad to teenagers.
Like. For me the best scene in the play is not the Ring Parable or the final scene, but Act 4, Scene 7, when the two old men, Nathan and the Friar, sit down and talk about Recha and her family. How Nathan's wife and brother and seven hopeful sons were taken from him. How the Friar, then a squire, was tasked with bearing a newborn kid to an unknown man after just losing his father figure himself. How Nathan, in the depths of grief and justifiably enraged by the cruelty of the Crusades, chooses to accept this unexpected and seemingly-divine ordination, knowing that he may lose her again*. How the alleged 'crime' that drives the second half of the plot, Nathan's adoption of Recha, is one of the play's great selfless acts, akin to the Templar's rescue of the same and Saladin's pardon to the Templar, through which the characters recognize their shared humanity and, eventually, their kinship.
How, the year before Lessing finished Nathan the Wise, he became a father himself, as Knobloch writes:
How all of Nathan the Wise is woven as much of grief as of love: Nathan's for his first family, the Templar for his father and brothers, Saladin's and Sittah's for their brother. And how these characters chose to take on responsibility for other people anyway. How in coming to understand one another, and the interplay of love and grief in each of their lives, they realize that they were family all along.
Marketing a 250-year-old play with the "found/chosen family" trope might be somewhat anachronistic. And the play, for all of its progressive attitude in matters of religion, has some significant lacunae; there's no corresponding interrogation about the choice to be a mother, or a parent outside of the dictates of patriarchy. But for this Father's Day, I feel a great deal of affection for a man who got that being a Dad is a very consequential choice, one that was often dangerous to make, and chose to do so anyway.
I've heard there's a German Middle Grade adaptation of the play called Nathan und seine Kinder which I am very curious about, not only because its title follows the German Serious Fiction formula-equivalent of "An X of Y and Z" but because it has probably addressed the nuances of this particular theme much better than I can do in one silly little post.
*and yeah, this play goes with the idea that when a daughter gets married she ceases to be part of the family. But notably the play does not end with Recha getting married. It ends with an expansion, rather than a severance, of the central family's ties.
