You did a nice job addressing the elephant in the room, the philosophical bits, including the epilogues. I didn’t feel any dislike for the beginning, but I can see why a lot of people put it aside at that point (even as I did my first attempt after the windowsill scene). Your point at about 10:11 about the writer’s lack of autonomous control over his project resonates with me. (I look forward to hearing your highlighted passages.) I know you read “The Fox and the Hedgehog” which I decided to keep away from - does that influence your interpretations in retrospect? As far as what videos you make - do what gives you joy! 😂 (Going a little bit Marie Kondo there.)
Hahaha Thank you! Honestly, I am normally quite happy to admit having been influenced by a book, but Hedgehog and the Fox did not only not influenced my thoughts on War and Peace, but it barely informed me.
