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…

• 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!!

• 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.
