[edit] Plot summary
What was so "misguided" about the plot summary that it had to be replaced with a one that is much shorter?[1] Sofeil 06:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Wow. The current plot summary is also pretty appalling. "Throw in the towel," on Wikipedia, a wise man speculated. I will keep reading the drivel, while anything interesting is torn to shreds by grotesque mobs of sexless wikipedia nerds, basking in rule-giving like asperger's children or fascists. There's many interesting things to be said about the story that aren't allowed by equally dipshitty academic criticism, like
1)Josephine's singing represents human consciousness.
2)They aren't exactly mice.
3)This is the more or less self-consciously final story penned by history's greatest literary genius, which may have some significance to our lives.
I'm no Harold Bloom, but talk amongst yourselves.

Josephine the Singer → Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk — "Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk" is the actual title. Sofeil 12:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

- Support. Every I look the title of this story is "Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse Folk". "The Mouse Folk" part is not an alternative title. --Sofeil 12:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. I don't see that this needs to await an admin. -- Beardo 06:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response to 24.193.214.75
03:47, 20 June 2007 24.193.214.75 (Talk) (2,721 bytes) (all this crap about "the mouse people" etc. pisses on Kafka's incomprehensible legacy..."das volk den mousen" means "the people of mice," it does not mean the "volk" are mice literally)
A plot summary should be factual, if you are dissatisfied with their portrayal as mice, you may remove those particular references.
Interpretations of what the story means should appear under analysis, and properly cited; no matter how strongly you believe it, someone else might have an equally valid interpretation.
If you have anything to say about the article or specific issues to raise, this talk page is the place for it, and please try to keep it civil. AshcroftIleum 12:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
