Lit's Take on the Classics

We could always do Beowulf; enough there to please just about anyone.
Incest (Grendel and his mama, alone together for hundreds of years), Gay male (why was Grendel taking all those men? Eating them? Hmm...), Non-Human (or so the rumours about Grendel and Grinda [the mother] circulate)...And let's not forget that Beowulf and his boys AND the king's men all bedded down in the same room...Orgy anyone? The list goes on and on...

There's a movie with the plotline for Twelfth Night being advertised on the last chance ppv channel on dish network. I don't remember ever seeing it advertised for the theatres so it might be direct to TV. It's set with a teenage cast. (Of course, everyone knows adults don't have sex anymore) I think most of the names are the same. Wish I could remember the name.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned 'Dickens' - apart from the obvious double entendre in his name, many of his works could be easily adapted to the Lit format. 'Little Dorrit' springs to mind, a tale of the exploited; or 'Dombey and Son', incest, surely.

I'm not a great writer, but I am good enough to recognize one who is great. In this case, it's satirical songwriter Tom Lehrer. Those interested in more of his stuff, including Pollution, National Brotherhood Week, and The Vatican Rag should check out this site. TOM LEHRER LYRICS

SMUT
by Tom Lehrer
I do have a cause, though, it is obscenity. I'm for it! Unfortunately, the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it, owing to the nature of the laws, as a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on. But we know what's really involved: dirty books are fun! That's all there is to it. But you can't get up in a court and say that, I suppose. It's simply a matter of freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the Constitution, unfortunately. Anyway, since people seem to be marching for their causes these days, I have here a march for mine. It's called:
Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut
If it's uncut
and unsubt-le.
I've never quibbled
If it was ribald.
I would devour
Where others merely nibbled.
As the judge remarked the day that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense,
"To be smut
It must be ut-
Terly without redeeming social importance."
Por-
Nographic pictures I adore.
Indecent magazines galore,
I like them more
If they're hard core.
Bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties, samplers, stained
glass windows, tattoos, anything!
More, more, I'm still not satisfied!
Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers
Lurid, licentious and vile,
Make me smile.
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime.
Let's face it I love slime!
Old books can be indecent books,
Though recent books are bolder.
For filth, I'm glad to say,
Is in the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd.
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz - there's a dirty old man!
I thrill
To any book like Fanny Hill,
And I suppose I always will
If it is swill
And really fil-thy.
Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately?
I've got a hobby: rereading Lady Chatterley.
But now they're trying to take it all away from us unless
We take a stand, and hand in hand we fight for freedom of the press.
In other words: Smut! I love it.
Ah, the adventures of a slut.
Oh, I'm a market they can't glut.
I don't know what
Compares with smut.
Hip, hip, hooray!
Let's hear it for the Supreme Court!
Don't let them take it away!

Hmmm... I already did The Maltese Falcon (http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=104493) everal years ago. Maybe The African Queen and either a Fem Dom story or a Gay/Lesbian story would be good.
