Talk:The Great God Pan

Where is it quoted in The Dunwhich Horror?
Can someone point me at the place where The Dunwhich Horror quotes The Great God Pan - because I couidn't see it when I flicked through. --Fuchsia Groan 11:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The Dunwich Horror" refers to, but does not quote, "The Great God Pan":
 * 'Inbreeding?' Armitage muttered half-aloud to himself. 'Great God, what simpletons! Show them Arthur Machen's Great God Pan and they'll think it a common Dunwich scandal!

(End of chapter V for anyone wanting to check.)

P.S. You briefly confused me there by correcting the entry and then seeming to imply I'd misread the entry. —Fuchsia Groan 12:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Chapter Breakdown?
Anyone against a chapter breakdown for the novel? The episodic, semi-atomic nature of the chapters lends itself to this. —12:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Clarifying statement.
Having not read the novella, but being very interested in it, I wonder if someone who has could clarify the last line in the plot summary: is the girl in London the daughter of pan and the madwoman, or the daughter of pan and the granddaughter of said madwoman? The wording of the current sentence is a little confusing there. User:Snyrt —Preceding undated comment was added at 01:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Characters
Who and what are Clarke and Villiers? No explanation is given. 67.231.66.125 (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Characters in the story, apparently adult and presumably male. The person synopsizing here apparently felt no necessity of giving either a designation any more than Machen did. In the novella--see https://www.gutenberg.org/files/389/389-h/389-h.htm for text--the first is introduced without even a first name anywhere near, and the second is described as "a man about town", hardly a suitable insertion in the Synopsis as written, and left equally unchristened. I see no reason to edit the synopsis for more than the adequate clarity it already has. GeorgeTSLC (talk) 02:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Oscar Wilde's face
Does anyone else think the photo of Oscar Wilde is as gratuitous and misleading here as I do? GeorgeTSLC (talk) 02:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I do. In fact, I consider every image in the article other than the infobox one and perhaps the one under "Background" to be gratuitous. I made that point in the "GA Review" section above, but the GA reviewer disagreed. Deor (talk) 03:09, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
