#orlando watching othello and being jealous af of his girl

[blossoms-and-petrichor]

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
