Abstract

Homage to the Dungeon is an attempted syncretism of my experiences at New College of Florida-of historical reading and research, of learning syntax and formatting, of discussion and discourse, within the format of the Digital Humanities, along with my general experiences that have touched me as a person-learning of the Spanish Civil War, a desire to create art and a story, alongside my general hobbies. In this twine based choose-your-own-adventure style experience, I attempt to provide an allegorical retelling of the May Days Events, from an excerpt of George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia, similar to Orwell's own allegorical telling of the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalin in Animal Farm. I would like to bring both the Spanish Civil War and Orwell's experience in it to the attention of more people-to push for discussion and discourse upon the subject, which would be appropriate as we gradually approach the centennial since Orwell went to Spain.
