It’s a serious possibility that I am just fever-brained and/or reading too much Fritz. But how about the Grinch as the epitome of ressentiment? He can’t stand the proud Who people and makes them out to be evil/materialistic/wrong. How about the redemption through music? Living in a mountain cave with only animal companion[s], Zarathustra-style? Though I think it’s bunk, since then the Grinch displays elements of the weak and the strong morality. Nevermind. But imagine if Dr. Seuss read Nietzsche?
It’s weird. It was just yesterday that my wife was talking about how the Grinch was representative of Hitler.
Weird timing!
Hitler would be one of the worst decadents of ressentiment in history, too. That nasty sumbitch.
I can’t imagine that Dr. Suess never read N.
And yes you’ve been reading too much Fritz.
But no, that isn’t that big of a stretch.
