for @declanphobe: happy birthday!

“no sight so sad as that of a naughty child," he began, "especially a naughty little girl. do you know where the wicked go after death?" "they go to hell," was my ready and orthodox answer. "and what is hell? can you tell me that?" "a pit full of fire." "and should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there for ever?" "no, sir." "what must you do to avoid it?" I deliberated a moment: my answer, when it did come was objectionable: "I must keep in good health and not die.”

(...) the flowers smelt so sweet as the dew fell; it was such a pleasant evening, so serene, so warm; (...)

I've accidentally started a book club at school... A couple of the girls in my form asked me for a classic book recommendation for their English homework and I suggested Jane Eyre because they usually read a lot of YA fantasy romance and I remember being hooked by it when I was a similar age.

Fast forward a week or so and I'm now getting daily updates from their group of friends because they're so into it! They've taken over my classroom at lunchtime to have a chat about what's going on at Thornfield and are giving me some truly WILD predictions about what's going to happen. I've never seen a group of 13 year olds so mad about a classic and it's heartwarming to watch them experience the story for the first time. They're only about half way through the book and they're already looking for similar classics to read afterwards.

"Jane, I want a wife. I want a wife, not a nursemaid to look after me. I want a wife to share my bed every night. All day if we wish. If I can't have that, I'd rather die. We're not the platonic sort, Jane."

"Then hear this, Edward. Your life is not yours to give up. It is mine. All mine. And I forbid it."

(some of) my literary roman empires

benedick’s “you” —> “thou” switch in 4.1

the extended portrait metaphor in pride and prejudice

may welland

the repression of female emotions in victorian fiction

henry’s “a country dance as an emblem of marriage” speech in northanger abbey + the way that 19th century dance scenes prefigure marriage in general

the moment in jane eyre when mr. rochester asks jane if she finds him handsome and she says “no, sir”

victorian floriography

ophelia’s final scene

ww1 solider poetry (sassoon, owens, rosenberg, brooke etc.)

the ambiguity surrounding bertha mason

juliet’s “O romeo, romeo, wherefore art thou romeo?” breaks from iambic pentameter because the name romeo has too many syllables so the problem is literally his name

éponine thénardier (just everything about her but especially the “i am the devil” scene)

no, it’s gothic girl summer. while you down patrón shots, i’ll be repeatedly catching fevers while staring virginally out into the bogs as i pine for a man without any self-respect and unironically read “the monk” by matthew lewis.

a relationship should be 50/50 he digs up her grave to look at her and she haunts him at night

“I have little left in myself. I must have you. The world may laugh, may call me absurd, selfish but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or it will take deadly vengeance on its frame.”

— Charlotte Brontë, from “Jane Eyre.”
