Notorious Classic Lit Nerd

Idk if I was wrongfully thrown into solitary confinement to die and met a weird monk in the cell next to mine who taught me Everything and died and then against all odds i escaped prison and found a hidden treasure making me wealthy beyond my wildest dreams I would probably also do all that

i'll never forgive a certain genre of person for fostering this common conception that dostoeyvsky's works are all these horribly depressing, hard to read novels because that man's writing is funny as hell and reads like a long distance friend telling you about a local drama on facetime at 2am

Jane Eyre still captures what it’s like to be a weird angry little girl (which isn’t something you grow out of being, you just get better at hiding it) better than anything I’ve ever read

benedick’s love confession is so funny. beatrice actively sobbing her eyes out because her best friend and cousin just publicly got disowned by her father, slandered by everyone she knows, her life is presumably ruined forever now because of some insane guy’s claim that she cheated on him which is just obviously not true but no one will believe her and no one will believe beatrice and there is literally nothing beatrice can say to make it better and AS SHE IS CRYING benedick is like heyyy btw…im in love with you. isn’t that crazy haha

I wish Hollywood would stay far, far away from classic literature

all war and peace characters know is be unhappily married, gossip, look at sky, and speak french

and also die

doing standup comedy but I get on stage and it’s all fairly niche jokes about the extended Arthurian mythos. 13th century french scribe is the only guy in the audience laughing and he’s slapping his knees and blue in the face with laughter
