the memes are the best part of this post (couldn't think of a title)

I have two quotes Id like to point out, one from the beginning of “General and the Script/Print Continuum: Caxton’s More Darthur” and one from the very end. 

“Who made the changes that cause Caxton’s Morte to diverge from the Winchester manuscript is less important than the fact that the changes are made.” Page 134, Dorsey Armstrong

This got me thinking about the idea of plagiarism and original work that we had touched on earlier in this semester. Armstrong states that the person who made the changes does not matter nearly as much as the changes themselves. This is an interesting take on the idea that it is not important how or where we get the information, but rather that we get it at all. 

Later in the reading it says:

“At the same time, one could also read these changes as being made with the understanding that a large portion of his audience might consist of women: he deletes material offensive to them, such as the rape clause, and also seeks to limit suggestion of their power and influence, echoing the model of feminine virtue…” 145, Dorsey Armstrong 

This stood out to me as well as an interesting explanation behind the decisions to change things.
