From the title of the novel, to Sadie’s invocation of Emily Dickinson, to Marx’s

epithet, “Tamer of Horses,” to Master of the Revels, there are many allusions to

classical literature woven throughout the novel. What does this suggest about the

experiences be reinvented? Does the team believe they can create and are creating

themes? What do video games offer a person in the form of entertainment,

community, and growth that a play, a poem, or other art forms do not?
