She has said this publicly in forums and privately to people here on both BM and the DCF. It is a tragedy, Attic in all essentials, which could have been but is not in a play form since she doesn't really know how to write a play. She used those principles in the format she is master of, the short story.
bbm is the first successful--brilliantly successful--case where any english language author managed to achieve this. Again, bbm is completely, completely based on classical principles. Tragedy is its ESSENCE. The characters are destroyed by their own flaws.
If you do not get this you miss many clues, many lessons. You can miss the forest for the trees.
THINK GREEK.

OK "forest guide", rather than tell me how sadly clueless I am, why don't you offer links or references to the interviews which you have pointed out here rather than just restating your point with a sneer.
For my part I have read several scholarly essays in "Reading Brokeback Mountain" which do point out some of the classical allusions and techniques in the short story. But in reading those essays I haven't noticed that any of them claim that, to quote you, "Brokeback Mountain is completely, completely based on classical principles." Maybe you see something I don't see?
OK, so unzip and lets compare.

Brokeplex that was not stated with a sneer.
If you would LIKE to have it stated with a sneer, please advise me, as there is NOOOOObody who can do it better.
Just give me half a chance

OK, so I'll just have to accept that you're not interested in explaining your point of view further .......a dog barks the caravan moves on.
Artiste:
Thanks brokenbackjack, thanks brokeplex!!
Brokenbackjack, may I ask you to note that my reply was done before Heath's passing was known by authorities in NYC!! I was not at my New York City art studio then nor before nor since!! I only saw news about Heath after supper (after 5 or near 6, if I remember correctly). Of course, we all are sad... then and now. I pray that we all are happy too that Ennis helped us all too!!
I appreciate your help.
I like brokeplex questions or comments too, and yours.
We are all in pain then and still, and we all need help... and we all can help too, may I suggest in many amiable ways!
We can all be kind to each other!! Even in such hard sad times, as Annie and BM movie tells us... in order to help each other and love which is grand like their acting and Heath as a person was!!
Hugs to you brokebackjack, hugs to you brokeplex!! We all LOVE you Heath!!
