decided to reread merel’s monologue in wings of love and i noticed the best unintentional parallel
#im not sure if its a item of foreshadowing bc even though it’s written after goud takes place before wings of love#its kinda an echo ngl#basically merel says in her massive monologue at the end of wol ‘#how she could run away from the netherlands but she will always be connected to it#and that even if she never spoke dutch again she would still in essence always be dutch born and raised#and in goud anne-fleur is basically like yea well ill run away from the netherlands and i’ll never speak dutch again#ill erase my old self completely#and i won’t feel bad about it#it should be known both mention america#so basically merel is saying ‘i can leave but i cant forget’ and anne fleur is like ‘i can leave and god can i forget’#its also interesting bc anne fleur secretly knows she can’t just forget the place she grew up in#but she still wants to do it#this was better in my head but god!! really highlights the difference between the two girls and is an unintentional echo#to something that wasn’t written yet#ill update on this. actually#but yeah the fact this line specifically mentions america is interesting#and i think because it does mention america it highlights exactly the difference between merel and anne fleur#how anne fleur sees the love for the netherlands as holding merel back#how because she knows it’s unrealistic mirrors the fact she never truly fully despises merel#how it could almost be read as americanisation#the line almost reads as a very sad jab at anne fleur#or the notion that anne fleur tried to take her to america and forget the netherlands but merels not that girl#thoughts thunk#i am actually a genius#however there are some inconsistencies from wol to goud ill change#dutch language found dead
