#so did they miss the part where gatsby ends up floating dead in a pool and all the miserable deaths in wuthering heights#or did they miss that because there werenât any chapters titled In Which The Sinners Are Punished For Their Errors#like. even if you require explicit moral instruction from literature itâs pretty hard to miss the comeuppance in those.

okay, i canât talk about huck finn and not include ursula k. le guinâs wonderful analysis:
from âunquestioned assumptions,â an essay in the wave in the mind
If these authors read those classics and came away with those âwokeâ opinions, the only thing it tells me is that they slept through English Lit and didnât do their homework. I mean, I could say âAll I learned from âThe Hunger Gamesâ is that itâs 100% okay for children to fight to the death if itâs a longstanding and accepted societal practice.â But then Iâd get a lot of hate in my inbox because thatâs clearly not the point of the series and how basic I am for taking text at face value. Do you think that concept suddenly changes because a book was published before 1960?
