Re: Et in Arcadia Ego

I agree. My opening argument with the Preacher was essentially over the question of how exceptional these deaths really are, and whether it is a good move, ecocritically, to make them so (though Tredwell is a harder case to defend than McCandless).

I saw a Doug Peacock book talk about a year ago. While he didn't endorse Treadwell, he found it disturbing how eager people were to "dance on his grave" (I think he used that phrase).  Maybe getting killed by a beastie makes someone seem "stupid," while being killed by a machine is, after all, nice and civilized.

Timmy talks about being in that position long before coming to Alaska, as an
addict surrounded by "lots of drugs and bad people with guns".
