hello! im writing a paper on grief in fantasy and wanted to discuss the odyssey. as the resident odyssey lover do you have any particular moments that you think would be great in an essay?
OUGHH
any time they cry tbh. Grief is So present throughout the odyssey, its soaked in it
though the two that come to mind is when odysseus hears songs of troy and starts weeping, being compared to like a woman whose husband died at war and who was being taken captive. the other one is when he goes to find his father and physically stops and weeps over the state of him, old and weak.
another one is when he meets his mom in the underworld!! when he tries to embrace her thrice but fails because she's a ghost. but theres a ton i am just too sleepy to think of it agjkfshsh

Violet Bridgerton is truly gods strongest soldier. Every season she tells one of her children they're in love and every season they scoff in her face before causing seven different scandals to reach the same conclusion.

Absolutely hilarious to me that the ton is gonna be speculating on why and how Penelope and Colin ended up engaged and there’s definitely gonna be some entrapment/pity rumours going around but the actual truth of it is that Colin chased a carriage down, fell to his knees and went “please please please please please please please”

"Oh, Penelope," he was groaning, his lips and hands growing more frantic. "Oh, Penelope. Oh, Penelope, oh—" He lifted his head. Very abruptly. "Oh, God."
"What is it?" she asked, trying to lift the back of her head from the cushion.
"We've stopped."
It took her a moment to recognize the import of this. If they'd stopped, that meant they'd most likely reached their destination, which was…her home.
"Oh, God!" She started yanking at the bodice of her gown with frantic motions. "Can't we just ask the driver to keep going?"

Colin: men are simple creatures, just bat your eyes and wave your fan.
Penelope: *bats her eyes and waves her fan*
Colin (sweating): Fuck she’s good.

all within like half an hour . colin bridgerton needs to be in jail
