The “machinery” of the Roman – the successive scenes of action: Some gems of wisdom include the following: “All men have waited with ever-decreasing hope, day after day, for someone or for something that does not come, and all would willingly forget the experience.” “Potential genius cannot become actual genius unless it finds or makes the Form it requires.” “The mind posits in the past the desired thing which is really still in the future.” “When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft: Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes.” "Each of [Spenser's] deadly sins has a mortal disease." “Truth and falsehood are opposed; but truth is the norm of truth but of falsehood also.” Laurence Fox as Detective Sergeant (later Detective Inspector) James Hathaway: James Hathaway is a very private person, often hiding his feelings or past from Lewis, even when it is relevant to a murder investigation, although early in the first season he mentioned that he studied to be a priest before deciding to become a police officer. [2] The last quote is found in the midst of Lewis’ analysis of Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene. The larger context is that most of the apparent dichotomies of good and evil, light and darkness, justice and injustice are not equal and opposing realities but the opposition of a diseased, crippled, decayed version on the one. Light is not an absence of darkness; darkness is an absence of light. (Ask any physicist. The same with hot and cold.) I haven’t worked out all the implications, but this set my mind buzzing.

In terms of literary grace, he is the master and we are the mere peons. With that said, this book sometimes suffers from organization. He begins with a fascinating suggestion that courtly love poetry was a celebration of adultery. Perhaps it was. From there he moves to a persuasive, if not entirely related, discussion of the fall of the gods. This fall is important, for it allowed later thinkers to speak of a universe that was neither pagan nor ordinary. In any case, the point was not to glorify paganism. The pagan gods were a heuristic device.jitTTiv jiifev Korriic t 6 5vouoc &TrXoOv Xfe koctA oOcriocv. Ibid. 5 TT<5cvnra uccrrd atviyu

Credit where credit is due: Lewis argues that in studying analogy we need to differentiate between surface and depth layers. In particular, Lewis suggests that the depth structure of Spenser's Faerie Queene doesn't correspond to the surface structure. Below the surface of the Italian epic is the daily life of the Mediterranean. The screenplay is slow, tedious, and utterly implausible. The rapport between Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox (and the characters they play) which was evident in the Dexter/Plater episodes is completely lost here. Lewis' analysis of the history of the allegorical method is based on the premise that the nature of thought and language is fundamentally allegorical. His purpose is an inquiry into a quality inherent in human speech which becomes as well a part of the structure of poetry in the Middle Ages. The definition of the inquiry implies the conclusion: if allegory is fundamental to the human imagination, then its structural use in imaginative literature results in a synthesis of form and content which was naturally popular in an age which appreciated synthesis.

This episode of "Lewis" fares no better at the hands of Churchett. It is a case of mistaken identity involving the murder of a Czech Muslim and also that of a C.S. Lewis-admiring fantasy author. It's up to you to sort out the confusion. Not the plot (the culprit is fairly obvious at an early stage for any self-respecting whodunit buff to figure out), but the awful dialogue and the direction.
