Write a better ending!
>>25623741Anon, it's about the transmutation of the self into a higher degree of being. You must transcend your base appetites and allow your will to emerge.
>>25623774>You must Shut up!>transcend, bla, blahe's literally just eating because he's fucking HUNGRY>base appetites are badMoralism>allow your will to emergeWhat if my will is to eat, huh?The ending is fucking stupid.I stand by it. Desire doesn't just get fulfilled like that.Lacan speaks of this. A giant boot stomping on it would be the much better ending and I didn't even try.
>>25623812>What if my will is to eat, huh?You're supposed to eat the refined nectar of the gods, not the shit the caterpillar eats.>A giant boot stomping on it would be the much better endingThis betrays a malformed mind. Would you toss viable seeds onto the fire? Would you break an incubating egg? To destroy potential for the sake of wanton and gratuitous violence is opposed to nature and to life.
>>25623836>You're supposed to eat the refined nectar of the gods>not the shit the caterpillar eats.Oh yeah?How did he transform then?This makes no sense. Please explain. >>25623836>This betrays a malformed mind.You type like a neckbeard. >Would you toss viable seeds onto the fire?>Would you break an incubating egg? >To destroy potential for the sake of wanton and gratuitous violence is opposed to nature and to life.A neckbeard who's also a faggot I may add.tf are you on about It would be a much better lesson about life
>>25623849>How did he transform then?Because he's a fucking caterpillar, you dolt.If you want me spell it out, then here:>caterpillar eats>caterpillar does what caterpillars do, ie metamorphose into a butterfly>butterfly is reliant on a refined and limited food source (nectar)>happy ending because it is a book for kids>kid reads this book>this book has some words, lots of pictures>kid grows up>stops reading picture books, reads real literature>You are the fucking caterpillar.Grow up.
>>25623873>Because he's a fucking caterpillar, you dolt.It's an ALLEGORY, niggerthe lesson goes:eat, eat, eat => turn into butterfly There's no masonic idea of building character, my dudeyou're reading shit into the book that's just not thereDid you even read it?>real literatureOh and NOW you're doing the it's-not-that-deep-defense.It's not to be taken serious because it's JUST FOR KIDS Fuck you!You realize this is the equivalent of the I was just pretending meme.We either take this shit seriously or no need to discuss it at all.
>>25623741I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a side story of the Dune cycle!
>>25623891>eat, eat, eat => turn into butterfly Only because he's already caterpillar. A kid who eats a lot is not going to become a butterfly. But a kid can turn into what he is supposed to become (ie a well adjusted individual) if he fulfills his natural appetites and lets his will/personality develop.>Did you even read it?No, my mommy read it to me when I was wee lad. I'm sorry your mommy didn't love you.>We either take this shit seriously or no need to discuss it at all.Writing can have differing amounts of real content worth discussing. This book has what, a dozen lines of text? One can think about it for a little while, but its literary merit is soon exhausted. There seems, however, to be quite a bit more for you to consider.
>getting filtered this hard by the very hungry caterpillar ngmi
>>25623922What do you remember about this story?The catepillar or the butterfly?You remember the caterpillar because it is ICONICWhy is it iconic?Because it is an archetype.The archetype of DESIRE.Desire however can never be fulfilled.That's the nature of desire.Desire transforming into a butterfly is stupid.It's teaching the wrong lesson.You'll never be a butterfly.You stay a hungry caterpillar no matter how much you eat or read. Then you die.
I literally made an animation inspired by him last year XDhttps://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/980958

>>25623989>Desire transforming into a butterfly is stupid.Lust causes people to get married and start families
>csterpillar scavers the earth but does not find food because leaves are environmentally protected with a glass dome and net>caterpillar stays hungry and eventually eats its own limbs>biologist write about stoopid catastrophic cancerpiller who can’t eat and destroys environment.> Poets write woe tale about castaways eating sticks and stones and die of heavy weight drowning or beetching or whatever>applause for greens>did I mention that worm catapults itself into shadow realm? Reincarnated as a leaf to be eaten by real butterflies to become>story gets written in alternate universe where nothing ever happens, no worm no butterfly no good no hunger >god balanced out his fault of creation>the end.
Anybody remember the anon who used to say that this story was a metaphor for having a small penis humiliation fetish?
