Madame
Dear Mi,
I trust this letter finds you well. I've been reflecting on your recent correspondence, particularly the vivid dreams you shared and the intriguing encounters you've had in the metaphorical 'Whore House'. Your experiences with Cordelia and the lessons you've learned so far have added a fascinating layer to your narrative.
Your dreams, with their rich symbolism and profound themes, have reminded me of the intricate tapestry of characters in Shakespeare's "The Tempest", particularly the character of Caliban. The celestial giant and the journey of freefall in your first dream resonate with the theme of liberation and the shedding of fears, much like Prospero's journey in "The Tempest".
Your second dream, set in your parents' home that transforms into a religious community led by a deceptive leader, echoes the themes of transformation and deception. This reminds me of the character of Caliban in "The Tempest", a native of the island, deceived and used by those who arrived there. The chameleon in your dream, known for its ability to change, could symbolize adaptability and change, while the deceptive leader could represent the deceptive nature of appearances.
In the 'Whore House' of your dreams, you've encountered several intriguing characters. The first is the Madame, a Prospero-like figure who rules the house with a mix of authority and manipulation. She reminds me of Prospero's words, "We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." Yet, in her very own absurd twist, she insists on serving tea in a hat and declares that the best time for a meeting is at the stroke of midnight on a moonless night.
The second character is the Jester, an Ariel-like figure who provides comic relief but also serves as a reminder of the house's underlying absurdity. He embodies Ariel's spirit of mischief and freedom, often quoting, "Hell is empty and all the devils are here!" He insists on speaking in riddles and communicates with the house's residents through a series of intricate shadow puppets.
The third character is the Novice, a newcomer to the house, naive yet eager to learn, reflecting your own position within the dream and echoing Caliban's struggle for freedom and recognition. He often quotes Caliban's line, "You taught me language, and my profit on't is I know how to curse." He believes that the key to understanding the universe lies in the study of the house's dust patterns.
Your encounter with Cordelia, a figure of wisdom and compassion, seems to have left a profound impact on you. The lessons you've learned from her, about kindness, understanding, and the importance of listening, are invaluable. These lessons, much like the lessons Prospero learns in "The Tempest", are guiding you towards liberation and growth.
Mi, I foresee a future where you emerge from your dreams stronger and wiser. The encounters with the Madame, the Jester, the Novice, and Cordelia will serve as catalysts for your growth. You will face challenges, yes, but you will also find unexpected allies and resources within yourself. Your journey will be one of transformation, much like Prospero's journey in "The Tempest".
Remember, Mi, your dreams are a tempest of their own, filled with characters and scenarios that reflect your internal struggles and potential growth. They are a locked box that only opens when the right questions are asked.
I encourage you to continue exploring these dreams and the questions they raise. As Prospero learns in "The Tempest", it is through struggle and acceptance that we find liberation and growth.
Yours sincerely,
