learning about the importance of language on our psyche and can't stop thinking about elena and proper italian and dialect and how often ferrante mentions these two. how both are a different kind of wall and how lenu thorough her life feels a sense of not belonging with both. they are just weapons she utilizes when she sees fit but she feels to me at least ,strangely desensitized about them. it sounds like torture that the Writer has no language of her own essentially or that besides lila there was no one with whom she could speak both without fear that they will see the language first and her person second.there is this split in elenas life between the rione and the upper class that is so stark when language comes into play
