This is how it feels to explain anything
#image is from Baalbuddy#we gotta explore the themes of ennui in victorian literature the usage of mirrors and the how it relates to romanticism#and how it pertains to increasing industrialization and the previous era of Romanticism and the juxtaposition of how#they wanted to innovate (see the English Novel) but retain or even ‘remove’ the roots#and how some of the ideas found here can extend into the fiction of other countries of the time and even to now (considering how expressive#and influential some of them are)#not to mention how naturally a lot of universities and schools will teach their natio/ literature for obvious reasons#unless you fake a specialized course#(me reading Tale of Genji)#*take#and a country like the usa where a literary canon does exist#but it’s also heavily influenced by being a country of immigrants and ‘foreign’ influence means the American identity is fairly unique#not the best#just unique#it’s a country where the identity of oppressor and oppressed can blend together#Ex. Hawaii and the Japanese immigration movement#and colonizer and colonized can also merge#other countries have it too since the world is so varied#but the usa sits at a relatively unique position#considering its current status as a superpower#the symbolism and actual physical value of the USD is one example
