Ren – Money Game Pt. 1 Reaction | Dante, Shakespeare & More

Original Video:    • Ren - Money Game (Official Music Video)   This is my first-time reaction to Ren’s Money Game (Part 1) — a raw, thought-provoking track about greed, corruption, freedom, and human nature. As always on Troubadour Reacts, I bring in my background in literature, drama, philosophy, and art to connect Ren’s lyrics to the great works of the Western canon. 🎭 In this video, I explore how Ren’s lines echo timeless themes in Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, Sophocles, Virgil, Wilde, Orwell, Wells, and more. I also compare his imagery with visual art from Goya and Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. If you’re new here, I’m Kirk Barbera, a literary scholar and translator of Homer’s Iliad. On this channel, I dive into music reactions that bridge modern artistry with the classics. 📖 Want to go deeper into literature?

Virgil, Aeneid – Aeneas as exile, immigrant, and founder of Rome. Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus – “Give me your tired, your poor…” George Orwell, Animal Farm – sheep chants and blind conformity. H.G. Wells, The Island of Dr. Moreau – the Beast Folk’s chant: “Not to go on all-fours… Are we not men?” Francisco Goya, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters – art as critique of conformity. Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (based on Anthony Burgess’ novel) – violent, stylized imagery echoed in Ren’s video. 👉 If you enjoy deep-dives into lyrics with a literary twist, subscribe for more reactions connecting music with poetry, philosophy, drama, and art. #Ren #MoneyGame #TroubadourReacts #Dante #Shakespeare #Reaction
