anyone else see some kind of connection between the emcee in cabaret and puck from a midsummers night dream? they're both mischievous, and have to have a more profound sense of whats going on in the "humans" lives then the humans themselves. also, the grotesque, outer worldly makeup and voice help with the "not quite human" vibe i get from him.
...or is the connection just in my head?
Now that is a POV I'd never thought of. Granted, the source materials are different as night and day, but it'd make one heck of a paper.
Good for you for thinking of that!
Puck stirs the pot; the MC just reflects what is going on

That's exactly what I thought...
shareWow! I thought the same exact thing, and spent time reflecting on it. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

That's an interesting correlation that I have never heard of before...very sharp thinking there, suga high59.

I prefer to think of him as Puckish :).
