as i was saying, nevermore

“She fainted, and was restored with extreme difficulty. When she again lived, it was only to weep and sigh. She told me, that that same evening William had teazed her to let him wear a very valuable miniature that she possessed of your mother. This picture is gone, and was doubtless the temptation which urged the murderer to the deed...

“Come, dearest Victor; you alone can console Elizabeth. She weeps continually, and accuses herself unjustly as the cause of his death; her words pierce my heart. We are all unhappy; but will not that be an additional motive for you, my son, to return and be our comforter? Your dear mother! Alas, Victor! I now say, Thank God she did not live to witness the cruel, miserable death of her youngest darling!

“Come, Victor; not brooding thoughts of vengeance against the assassin, but with feelings of peace and gentleness, that will heal, instead of festering the wounds of our minds. Enter the house of mourning, my friend, but with kindness and affection for those who love you, and not with hatred for your enemies."

Although Renfield was written in a very ableist way that is supposed to make him seems suspicious and untrustworthy because he is inside the asylum in the first place, his character can also be seen as the reflection of how the victorian asylum system worsened the conditions of their patients. What Seward recorded today is a perfect example of that.

I saw this comment under a nevermore confession about Annabel being problematic for calling Lenore "pet" so i made this at the time and thought i should share it cause it's stupid enough that more people need to see- idk man

The original poster were saying that she doesn't view Lenore as an equal and is infantilizing her with that nickname 💀

Oh i found it
