By which I mean, when you analyze Madoka in terms of Aristotle or Faust, I learn about Aristotle and Faust in terms of Madoka.)

Yes indeed. They're all just talking to each other, is how I see it, in a room rented out by Plato.

I tried not to get too emotional while talking about Sayaka, because I had my critic hat on (which reacts badly to salt), but you may be sure that I was crying for our genki knight. What I should have added, in Aristotelian mode, is that this is almost the only tragedy that gives me a feeling I recognize as catharsis. Most just leave me sad - but with Sayaka it's very personal.
