  Summary

  When one takes desire on Carson’s terms, Vulcans serve as both a fantasy of escape from its inextricable bind and as evidence that, at least in the human imagination, such escape is not truly possible

  Anne Carson explored desire in archaic Greek literature in her book Eros the Bittersweet; I took her definitions and insights and applied them to Vulcans.
