So I'm watching all these films for one of my rhetoric seminars. "These" is refering to the 1930-40's genre of "Comedy of Remarriage." All those greats by Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Hepburn, and so on... In discussing the term 'genre,' one of the philosophers we're reading has noted an interesting thread that ties all the films together:
"As if there may be a bickering that is itself a mark, not of bliss exactly, but say of caring. AS if a willingness for marriage entails a certain willingness for bickering. This strikes me as a little parable of philosophy, or of philosophical criticism." (Pursuits of Happiness, 86)
