lenú and donna and how they defined part of their self in relation to lila and laura. lenú tries to free herself from that whilst donna, even more after laura's death, dissolved herself into laura - the relationship with james being the prime example.

Going through my my brilliant friend highlights and notes on my Kindle I found this:

We stared at each other, completely separate creatures, as if we were on a life raft in the middle of an infinite sea.

Haladriel is haunting me and I am enjoying

lenu greco and paul mccartney have a lot in common like they’re obsessively in love with their much more “brilliant” friend that doesn’t seem to try at all and is born just greater, they want to escape the poverty and mediocrity of their parents in any way necessary and while living between people that deep down never respected them because of the class difference, they also get chastised for betraying their roots by the people who were left behind

i feel like it’s implied Elena and pietro could’ve worked in a different time but pietro simply could not overcome the patriarchy lmao

Elena Ferrante not only has female characters so complex that it’s inevitable to adore them despite their countless flaws, terrible decisions, contradictions, and reprehensible actions. Women who, in the hegemonic conception of gender dynamics, would be easily portrayed in a twisted manner, but she sketches them as complete human beings with multiple dimensions and shades of gray, which gives them a humanity that gets under your skin and overwhelms your entire body. She is also a writer whose most terrible male characters are those who could become heroic protagonists in other stories, but she reduces them to pathetic wretches who are nothing more than a shadow of what they always aspired to be, and they don’t necessarily have to physically bully women to show themselves as the worst scum on the planet. And yes, I am talking about Nino Sarratore and my ability to write an essay on why he is the worst man in literature and to what extent Ferrante’s portrayal brilliantly shapes a horrifically terrible character. I have many feelings about the new and final season of this saga, but I will analyze it when I recover emotionally. It’s been four years since I finished the books, and it still gives me chills when I think about everything it made me feel, so I don’t know when I will feel ready to talk about the series.
