Unlike Mozart, Beethoven lacked a keen understanding of women. He wanted to marry a woman who was his equal, and, since he considered himself the greatest composer ever, only sought out women of the highest class. He simply didn't understand that women want to marry up. If he had lowered his sights a notch, he could have easily found a wife. Sadly, he never married.
His opera Fidelio reflects his lack of understanding of women. In the opera, the heroine rescues her husband who is being held in a dungeon. But the opera falls flat because the man is supposed to rescue the woman, not the other way around. Here is "O Gott! Welch ein Augenblick!" from Beethoven's opera Fidelio. Notice how the heroine is emotionally overwhelmed after rescuing her husband. Even though she rescued him, he still has to comfort her. |

To what lengths will a woman go to protect her lover? In this scene from Puccini's Girl of the Golden West, Minnie's lover Dick Johnson has been shot and is wanted by the Sheriff. Sheriff Jack Rance agrees to let him go if she beats him at a poker game, but if he wins, she must marry Sheriff Rance.
Here is the Poker Scene from Puccini's Girl of the Golden West: And, yes, her lover's name really was Dick Johnson. Did the playwright David Belasco, upon whose play the opera was based, understand the modern connotations of those names, or was it a mere coincidence?

Some people today complain that marriage is a trap. But what they fail to realize is that marriage is supposed to be a trap. The whole purpose of marriage is to trap two people together to ensure that they stay together to provide a stable environment for their children. And that's a good thing.
We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much, baby Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say? Okay, let's see how many MGTOW types give this post a thumbs down. Is there a record for the most number of thumbs down on a single post? |

A YouTuber who recently died, called himself 'TheAngryGrandpa'. His wife was an Elvis fan to the extreme. One month she didn't pay the light bill, she sent the money to Graceland and she bought some Elvis stuff. This was in winter so it was cold. He sang that to her to express his anger. 'We're caught in a trap! I can't walk out! Because I love you too much babbbyyy!', but very sarcastically. He proceeded to sing it to her sarcastically anytime he was disgruntled. She made a very touching video after he died, and mentioned all his Elvis teasing, which didn't really make her angry after all they'd been through in life. His Elvis hate was small potatoes in the scheme of things. They had four kids and about six grandkids.

White people who are talking about nature and look normal, that's flat out weird in 2018.

My favorite Elvis song is the one where he’s a ‘Hunk a hunk a burnin love’ cuz it’s funny. Angry Grandpa scream singing about not being able to walk out of the trap I like for the same reason.

His alleged Jewish ancestry is very sketchy at best. It seems to be true he had a great-grandmother or the like that was of Cherokee ancestry, though. |
