Ariel Horn on Alisa Solomon's "Jewish Fantasia" essay

In the essay "Wrestling With Angels: A Jewish Fantasia," Alisa Solomon
argues that "Angels in America" is even more of "A Jewish Fantasia" than
it is "A Gay Fantasia," as Kushner approaches multiple themes throughout
the play with distinctly Jewish imagery and ideas. Solomon writes that
central Jewish characters, notions of crashing angels, the afterlife,
heavens, and flaming alephs are all evocative of Kabbalah (a school of
Jewish thought founded in Safed which focuses on mysticism). Solomon also
points out that at the end of "Angels," the plays emphasis is on moral
and ethical conduct on Earth, a primary tenant of Judaism. Beyond her
explanation of the distinctly Jewish themes in "Angels," at the heart of
Solomons essay is her belief that Jewish characters, ideals,
philosophies, and mannerisms are used to explain gay themes throughout
the book; Jewish ideas unfold in tandem with gay themes, and ultimately,
the norms of each culture grow more and more parallel throughout the
play.

Solomon uses several examples throughout her essay to prove how themes of
homosexuality and Judaism are parallel in "Angels." One of Solomons most
interesting examples is her explanation of Roy Cohn and Louis as
archetypes for both Jewish and gay stereotypes. Solomon explains that in
Roy and Louis, Kushner juxtaposes two Jewish stereotypes with two gay
stereotypes. Roy is a "Tough Jew" (a self-described "heterosexual who
fucks around with guys") and a "macho man," whereas Louis is a "Jewish
victim" and a "sissy boy." Each gay character takes on a Jewish role; Roy
isnt just a closeted gay man in power, he is a Jewish man with power
because he is Jewish. Louis isnt just a dramatic gay man leaving his
lover with AIDS, he is a Jewish victim overwrought with Jewish guilt at
having left Prior. Solomon writes that Kushner intentionally overlaps gay
and Jewish tropes in order to make each groups internal conflicts more
salient. Solomon goes as far to say that even Prior, a gay WASP, becomes
a metaphorical Jew learning to grapple with life in the Jewish way.
(Solomon explains that in the beginning of the play at the funeral, Prior
is associated with the dead.)

Solomon also describes why Jews and homosexuals are similar and therefore
appropriately paired. She writes that both Jews and gays are perceived as
economically well-off, educated, and "disproportionately represented in
the cultural elite" which causes suspicion among people that the groups
have participated in corruption or conspiracy. Solomon writes that Jews
and gays are connected through issues surrounding their blood as
well--the Jews with the Blood Libel, and gays with the infected blood of
AIDS; each group is seen to somehow have the ability to "infect" or
"poison" society. Solomon also mentions the parallels between
anti-Semitism and homophobia when she explains how the anti-gay movement
looked to the structure of anti-semitism as a model for its own organization.

Additionally, Solomon points out specific scenes in which distinctly
Jewish ideas overlap with gay themes. Primarily, she emphasizes how
almost all the visions in the play are from the Old Testament (except for
Harpers), and how the idea of Judgment Day approaching is more Talmudic
than it is Christian. As an example, Solomon focuses on a scene in which
Louis fails as both a Jew and a gay man when he thinks about the question
that God asks Jews before they enter heaven ("have you dealt honorably
with your fellow man?") and contemplates his rejection of responsibility.
Because Louis left his lover as he lay dying, Louis failed as "a typical
gay man of New York" to care for Prior. As a Jew, Louis also failed by
not "dealing honorably with his fellow man." Solomon similarly shows how
Jewishness and gayness overlap when she describes Roys death scene with
Ethel Rosenberg, which is rife not only Jewish ideas such as forgiveness,
retribution, expiation, and the burden of being Jewish but also the
meaning of being gay. As Roy is in the hospital dying of AIDS, he shrieks
out Yiddishisms and mocks Ethel, who is described by Solomon as yet
another symbol of the pervasive Jewish themes in the play, as she is "an
archetype of female Jewishnessa Yiddishe momma."

Solomon writes that through Louis, Roy, and Ethel, and even the Rabbi,
Sarah Ironson, and Prior, Kushner suggests that "American Jews have
abandoned their commitment to political and erotic liberation."
Ultimately, Solomon argues that Jews and Gays are parallel figures
because they both bear responsibility to their community. Through
comparing gay and Jewish qualities of characters, Solomon asserts
"Angels" isnt only a "gay fantasia" but a story that unfolds Jewish
themes equally.

Could be too, she knows time is running out for American's "tolerance" with the shit of the Juden, and she is loading her intellectual lifeboat if you will.

That way she could say "See? I was in your corner the whole time, America."

A good test of your theory Fritz, would be to step into the "Wayback Machine", and review articles from her entire career.

Typical jewish hedging.

Zionist jews control the right, Marxist jews control the left.

If one side loses, then they can go with the other side.

Oh... and that too.

Thanks, IW!

Blimey, just seen her/his face. It's no wonder there are poofters ! :eek:

An interesting thread, Jim Crowe.
What self-absorbed people these jews are, and complex. Hideous too.
I agree with iron Worker:

Typical jewish hedging.

Zionist jews control the right, Marxist jews control the left.

If one side loses, then they can go with the other side.

The jewish woman is our only hope against the jew. I am telling you, the jewish female is our only chance to conquer the insane jewish male.

It's the nature of woman to go with the truth. Jewish man-woman relations are historically the most oppressive in history. The woman in Israel is merely a piece of meat to be fucked. The jews are working daily to turn our beautiful European white girls to whores and harlots, mere things to be fucked. Look to the jewish woman for salvation from the jewish man. Heed.

The soul of the jewish woman is the only chance for mankind.

I know it's crazy talk. And for that, I apologize. Women, man, that's where it's at. Be they jewish, White, Chinese, Arab, whatever. The women; that's what it's all about.

Maybe we could make her look more feminine by giving her a pink noose?

Shave the monstrous shebrew's ass and teach her to walk backwards. Whenever these fucking kikes are anti-Zionism, they're invariably pro-Everything Else That Destroys Straight White Society.

Up the chimney with the whole stinking mob.

How about this feminist icon, Andrea Dworkin? Rumor has it she moonlights as a liferaft for Carnival Cruiselines.

Yikes! That thing looks like Dee Dee Ramone after a long bender with the needle. Funny, just tonight, my mom and I were comparing the in-breeding of dogs and the hideous features of the Jews, as she had to put-down one of her Danes yesterday. Likewise, that monster should be put-down, if only for other humans' eyes.

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!! :p

Yahweh was inspired by a Caananite diety known as "El", and was appropriated
by the Semitic Hebrews(aka Sephardic Jews). Read a history book moron.

Professor Goldberg and Silverstein have done a good job with you. They have filled your head with lies about the true religion of the blond race of light.
