i'm just really mac tired
Interviewer: The short story The Last Wish is a long metaphor about being very careful what you wish. The way to reach our desires at all costs can be full of dangerous Djinns, meaning unscrupulousness. Here we meet for the first time Yennefer of Vengerberg, who can also be a very dangerous sorceress. Love is born between the two but don’t you think it’s really too dangerous for Geralt to keep craving for a woman we find out to be not that reliable?"
Andrzej Sapkowski: That’s what makes the story interesting, don’t you think? Being a huge fantasy reader, sometimes I find boring or disgusting the stories where the hero can have sex with any woman, because those women can’t wait to have sex with him. In those stories women are the hero’s prize, the warrior’s reward, and as such they have nothing to say, they can only moan and faint in the hero’s strong arms.
I am convinced that only with contact with the other sex - wether it is cause of attraction, care, confrontation or opposition - a hero can fully grow. When I created Yennefer’s character I wanted Geralt to fully grow, but then I decided to make things complicated. I created a female character who refuses to be a fantasy stereotype. To please the reader.
Я не нашла оригинал (в смысле на русском, но вдруг это вообще интервью для заграничного журнала), но вдруг кто знает и будет так добр кинуть мне ссылку в коменты на заграничный/русский источник. Хочу поаплодировать пану Сапковскому. Да, женщин у Геральта много, неприлично много я бы сказала, порой это вызывало отвращение и ощущение, что у ведьмака просто в штанах чешется, но ни одна, ни одна не была "простым приложением" к самому Геральту, которое просто млеет в его объятиях, не спорю - многие покупались на его харизму, но никто не терял при этом голову и не терял свое "я", многие вообще ложились с ним в постель из-за расчета или своих планов (отнюдь не любовных) на него. И сагу о Цири и Геральте я прежде всего полюбила за разноплановых героинь.
