My old arch-nemesis, we meet again ("it's all about the sex" academia)
#I am closer to the beginning of my reading than even the middle#and if I read the words penetration and violation associated to the riot scene in N&S one more time I will scream#what is an attic wife if not a thesis you keep procrastinating#I have to say I haven't met with an Elektra complex reading of Margaret and Mr Hale#which noblesse oblige makes more sense than this#Not that I believe it because Freud we don't talk about Freud#But you know she's attached to her dad and her idealization of her dad must fall before she can accept Thornton#Thornton and Mr Hale are very explicitly contrasted in the text etc etc#But who knows there's still plenty of time for it to show up! sigh#Dominicans were not joking when they coined#“the wood of the desk is the wood of the cross” huh#and yet we persevere
