Morton was very long. There is one aspect. Other than that my favorite part of it was the drama. I must confess I did not finish it but after class, I decided to read the best part we discussed, the death and cover up. Which I think just shows the corruption and power of the empire. They can control/manipulate even the Pope so that Rudolph can retain a proper Catholic Burial.
I think the way that the news travels from person to person is also interesting. How they all just dropped what they were doing in astonishment and disbelief that the Crown Prince was dead. I also thought it was interesting, Sisy's workout routines. You don't think about Royal Empresses doing push ups in private.
But most of all I liked the cover-up of Mary, in an attempt to spare Rudolph of murdering his mistress from the public eye. How they kept her body for 40 hours. How they dressed and propped it up with a broomstick in the carriage in order to give the appearance of life. How they stole her away to the grave in the dead of night, and the diggers saying nothing of the act. How she disappeared without a trace until weeks later when an official document came out that she was buried in her family's private grave in Bohemia.
Shaw was funny. I read just about halfway through Shaw today in my free time before we went to town. I really liked this one called "The Beast" It is very disturbing and extremely entertaining. It kind of makes me sick and extremely confused as to how the great Queen Victoria had such a disgusting father. Maybe she was gross too... Idk... I only read half of it. So basically what happened was her father, George II was an army General who loved flogging. Like actually he just sat there and got his jollies from watching the men get whipped. Which is probably one of the grossest things I have ever heard. EW.
Secondly, would be the "start of the dynasty" which tells the tale of George I and George II. George I had a set of 3 concubines. All of whom were extremely hideous. The were called "the Elephant and the Maypole" for one were immensely fat and ugly and the other tall, skinny, and bald from smallpox. And George II, who was mentioned above, had found the ultimate wingman in nonother than his wife, Queen Caroline. She helped him pick out women for him to sleep with for over 30 years. Apparently it was to "keep him from sleeping in the same bed as her." After many years of helping her husband find women to cheat on herself with the Queen died in a poop explosion. Literally her intestines blew up covering the chamber with her partially digested meals. (Sidenote: I'm dry heaving right now)
So in conclusion. Never wish to be a king or queen. Because they are some of the most disgusting people I have ever read about. I think what I have learned from all of this is simply how much I love America. Seriously. We are the best. We may have Trump and Hillary but I would take both of them plus Kim Kardashian to rule us over any of the royalty we have just read about. That's right. I stand with Kim.
I'm very tired now.
