When somebody shares a quote by a famous author like it's something the author personally said and believed, but you know it was actually spoken by a character you're not supposed to like... 😐
one time I saw on Pinterest a cutesy little pink flowery image with the quote “‘as soon as I entered the house, I had singled you out as the companion of my future life’ -Pride and Prejudice” and like
ladies that is a mr collins quote 😭
My favorite example of this (not quite a character but a commonly misinterpreted quote) is Mary Oliver’s quote:
“He is exactly the poem I wanted to write.”
Often quoted as if it’s romantic. But here’s the thing
It was written by a lesbian. About a heron. She was writing about a large wading bird.
