2. What (literary or otherwise) figures best represent the Nietzschean
ubermensch?
3. What is Nietzche's relationship to Alister Crowley? Both are failed
madman who attempted more than what was possible. But a critical difference
between the two is that Nietzche did not want followers and Crowley
considered himself the 666. Comments?
3. In the movie of Apocalypse Now, the character of Willard (Martin Sheen)
seems to exemplify an ubermensch, beginning with the scene at the beginning
in the hotel room (the great contempt) and ending at the termination of the
movie where he refuses to take Kurtz's place and become the new god (or is
this a refutation of ER?). (I could go further into detail but I would like
to know what others think.)
