I have some takes, I don’t know how ~hot they are but:
1:
- I love Jane Eyre, and I kind of just lol when people are like ‘Mr. Rochester/the romance are problematic’, like uuuuh… of course he is, and of course it is, it’s a…gothic romance?
- And tbh (although you could link this with a lot of classics), you should really not be reading fiction looking for Relationship Goals anyway?? Or trying to model your own ideal romantic relationships off them because it’s uh…fiction.
- Like if you’re looking to do that, buy or rent a nonfiction book about relationships by an expert in psychology?? Idw to ruin your day or nothin’ but…ye. That’s my take
- Anyway; Charlotte Bronte wrote that book for Ugly Girls everywhere so I’ll always love her for it.
2:
- This is just a crack theory; but sometimes I wonder if part of the opening from Romeo and Juliet was meant to be for an opening of a play about the WOTR, and if Shakespeare just reworked it?
- Like:
-
Two households, both alike in dignity….
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. - Very York & Lancaster, right??
- I mean I guess that’s kind of a story since time immemorial so it’s probably not true but sometimes late at night I wonder if it was…
3
- I get so annoyed when people say Pride & Prejudice is overrated??
- It’s rated exactly as much as it should be.
(I’ve read it 4 times)- Hush!!
4
- I HATED having to read Animal Farm in high school, it was so. Boring.
- I get that it’s a work of important historic significance (well….for the British perspective anyway, on All That)
- But I still hated it, I think 1984 is much better.
5
- Franny & Zooey is legiterally a thousand times better than Catcher in the Rye.
- Tbh I think that should be the work Salinger is famous for, it is so tragically underrated and it’s made me cry and I think everyone should read it.
