my favorite trope in literature is when the MC watches a shakespeare play for "no fucking reason" until you slowly realizes its all adding to the theme/characterization
#orlando watching othello and being jealous af of his girl#pip freaking out over hamlet because he too is confused and pulled away from his father figure#dorian romanticizing sybil vane's innocence and beauty as the “naive” heroines of tragedies that she winds up mimicking#holden talking about hamlet and not really liking it much except for a part where ophelia and laertes mess around not listening to polonius#im just saying i love it#orlando#virginia woolf#great expectations#the picture of dorian gray#catcher in the rye#hamlet#oh yeah and holden talking about how much he liked mercutio because he was witty and funny and died due to things not his own fault#romeo and juliet#shakespeare
