Comment on A Cabal of Paris

  1. Oh yes, absolutely. And I do admire how Dumas wrote him and his involvement in the key intrigue in 3M, because even though we know that he is involved, we don't really realise to which extent. He smiles mildly and excuses himself with treatises that he has to write for his friend the curate (in Latin), while running errands for Marie all around Paris. By the time he's established himself in his den in the Jesuit cloister, he feels secure enough to flaunt his plotting for everyone to see.

    I like the idea of Descartes being influenced by Aramis. He was big on the duality of body and mind (or mind and matter), and duality is what Aramis is all about.

    was pointedly aimed at Aramis after Aramis got murderously angry at a slight insult one day and Descartes is just like whoa, dude, chill out

    Headcanon accepted!
