okay so i just finished the shards by bret easton ellis and it was so so good, so heavy but so good.
bret is an oppressed closeted gay guy in the 1980s homophobia that outsmarted everyone got away with it so naturally i think heâs kind of an icon.
honestly, i like how his paranoia is meant to be the manifestation of his repressed sexuality - sexuality he wouldnât need to repress if said homophobia didnât exist to begin with. homophobia that people like thom and robert perpetuate. thomâs nonchalance at the suggestion that robertâs institution was conversion therapy.
especially considering that robert is a homophobic twat who sexually coaxed a closeted guy into revealing their sexuality only to call him a faggot and then leave, sexually humiliating him. so no sympathy for robert from me. especially after the news that he raped his stepsister and potentially killed his mum as well as stealing someone elseâs girl and lying about his past.
also susan is an underutilised character. her character being always taken care of, always protected but also being in control more than someone like debbie should have been explored more and i wished her and bret got more best friend moments. it wouldâve even better as a dual protagonist book.
iâve always seen robert mallory as more of a symbol than a character, i think because thatâs the way bret sees him. when robert says âwhen youâre talking to me, youâre really just talking to yourselfâ itâs because when bret talks to robert, he sees him not as a friend or another human being but as a symbolic representation of his fears, his desires, and his fears about his desires. robert represents the heterosexual ideal of âwhat bret could have beenââa version of bret that is better at fitting in, who can easily and effortlessly express the heterosexual desires bret doesnât have, who can be the romantic partner susan wanted from bret but which bret canât be. and if robert is the heterosexual societal ideal that bret canât live up to, then he also embodies the constant threat of bret being found out as queer
