Fuck Yeah, Sherlock.

#oh reblogging this again because i wanted to talk about the apple #the biting of the apple and the fall of man #moriarty is eve clearly #no but really this is something i want to think about a lot more and write pages and pages on #because i did a reading of eve in paradise lost asserting that she brought relational identity and the possibility of deconstruction to t… #the text/the world #and i think that could fit in so interestingly with moriarty and his status as the storyteller #and the ongoing theme of the fairy tale #i really think that throughout moriarty wants sherlock to subvert the simple antagnoistic hero/villain structure he’s setting up #which is why the ‘i’m not one of them’ line affects moriarty so profoundly

#oh god i’ve been trying to figure out the apple in the context of fairytales but didn’t think about it in a religious context #yes #because there are religious references all over this episode #with the whole ‘you’re on the side of the angels’ thing while playing sinnerman for moriarty #and the idea of the fall - as a fall from grace or a descent to hell #but then sherlock subverting the angel/devil heaven/hell dichotomy by saying #’you want me to shake hands with you in hell i shall not disappoint you’ #and asserting that while he’s on the side of the angels he is not one himself #so good yes i’ll think about the apple some more
