i only want to know

thinking, once again, about how fantine and éponine appear to jean valjean when he dies, despite neither having much of a relationship to him, because both valjean and fantine sacrificed their lives for cosette's well-being and happiness and both valjean and éponine gave their lives to save marius'. with this ending, les mis conveys that loving another person also binds you to everyone they love and love them, in an infinite chain.

i can’t get over how crazy much ado is sometimes. it feels like a deconstruction of shakespeare’s other comedies when you look at how quick and lovesick and beautiful hero and claudio are and how well they fit the script of just classic young lovers, things like how hero is one of the only characters to speak in verse, the way claudio praises her to all his friends etc. and then how in the middle of the play the script is completely flipped. now hero is in danger because of what claudio believes and no one can help her. and suddenly the love story shatters because the same willingness claudio has to fall in love with her at first sight is the same willingness he has to believe a baseless accusation and the love story starts to descend into horror because there’s no legal course of action hero can appeal to her and her own father insults and disowns her at her wedding and she’s quite literally left for dead fainting on the ground with her father saying let her die, what is it to me? it’s insane because like 30 minutes before it’s just a happy comedy love story but shakespeare shows a real darkness to the genre because claudio may think he loves her but when it comes down to it he will never trust her. her word isn’t good enough. no one is going to listen to the woman

why all my favorite shows gotta be the hardest ones to explain to people. Yeah just listening to Pissville the musical. hang on have I told you about the 9/11 musical? no wait I think you’d love the one with John Wilkes Booth in it
