In this episode, we are going to analyse 3 Cradle of Filth songs: "The Byronic Man”, from the 2006 album Thornography; “Forgive me Father” from the 2011 album Evermore Darkly; and “The Death of Love”, from the 2008 album Godspeed on the Devil’s Thunder (a concept album centered on the life and crimes of Gilles de Rais and his love for Joan of Arc).  

We cover the following and more:  

1. Last time we discussed several themes characteristic of Cradle of Filth’s lyrics. Which of these themes are encountered in these particular 3 songs? 

2. You mentioned before the female characters of COF. Do the last 2 songs also portray different types of femininity?

In this episode, Tete and Fortunus talk about "The Counterlife" by Philip Roth, one of Fortunus' favorite novels that Tete also read a few years ago. 

We talk about how our views of this metafictional novel have changed since we first read it back in 2016 and how it explores the following themes:

An audio roleplay featuring @tete.depunk's Tamara and my character, Joel. 

This takes place after Tete's Andrei and Joel argue about why Joel is not approaching his potential love interest, Malka, and prefers sulking and hoping his feelings for her will pass, because he thinks there is no point in having a relationship. Andrei decides to introduce Joel to Tamara, a woman whom he hopes will change the stubborn young man's mind. 

Artwork of Joel is by Fortunus Games and artwork of Tamara is by Tete.Depunk (colouring by Fortunus Games).

Tete talks about Tamara, a new character who will have a large impact on Andrei in her story, "70 Fierce Years". She replaces Dasha as Andrei's wife. 

We talk about how Tamara is somewhat inspired by an older character of hers, Natalia, and how Natalia has "grown up" since becoming Tamara.

In this episode, Tete and I discuss her return to Andrei Novokshonov's story. We talk about the changes she's made to his story since 2020 and why she's made these changes. The most major change we discuss here is the addition of new characters such as Tamara and Elena, and the deletion of older characters like Dasha.
