elena ferrante banging us all on the head with a hammer and shouting 'you can't outrun your mother, you only crash into her'
#this thought inspired by tina and imma being their mother's#tina as lila - clever + beloved#imma as lenu - reserved + cautious#SPOILER FOR SEASON 4 LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY#tina is inheriting lila's destiny as the 'lost child'#lila''s greatest fear being dissolving into the margins >>#tina becoming dissolved in those very margins#how do you go back? you can't#also thinking about lila's mother and lenu's mother -#lenu as nunzia (more reserved)#whereas immacolata is more like lila. brash and loud and unafraid of violence#and then the daughters switch#and then...THEY SWITCH AGAIN with lila/tina...#THE DOLLS!! THE DOLLS BEING SWITCHED#elena ferrante has taken a single spool of thread from day ONE#and held onto it#to the very last page of the quartet the last MOMENT#elena ferrante there is no prize that deserves YOU#elena ferrante#my brilliant friend#story of the lost child
