what she says: I'm fine
what she means: why is Dorian Gray never played by people with blond hair? why is Dorian always depicted as all pale and dark? oscar literally describes his hair as gold like two seconds after we meet him. directors apparently feel like they have to make Dorian look dark dangerous and brooding, but he's not supposed to look dark and dangerous and brooding. That's the whole point. No one ever suspects him because he looks like an innocent little cherub with golden curls and rosy cheeks. His physical appearance is described with terms that Western literary tradition, during the nineteenth century in particular, associated with goodness and godliness, and this is intentionally juxtaposed with the blackness of his soul. If you intentionally play him as someone who looks like a Byronic hero, much of the symbolism of his character is lost, right?

I need to be angry and bitter at times about what men have done to me, and I need to be allowed to be angry and bitter without having to defend my feelings and reactions. Believe it or not, but there are things in this world worse than a woman who is angry and bitter, for instance, men who abuse, rape and use women and force them to live with their trauma for who knows how long while trying to survive it best they can.

In the USA during the 1960′s legally a woman couldn’t:
Open a bank account or get a credit card without signed permission from her father or hr husband.
Serve on a jury - because it might inconvenience the family not to have the woman at home being her husband’s helpmate.
Obtain any form of birth control without her husband’s permission. You had to be married, and your hub and had to agree to postpone having children.
Get an Ivy League education. Ivy League schools were men’s colleges ntil the 70′s and 80′s. When they opened their doors to women it was agree that women went there for their MRS. Degee.

Get a divorce with some degree of ease.Before the No Fault Divorce law in 1969, spouses had to show the faults of the other party, such as adultery, and could easily be overturned by recrimination.
Have a legal abortion in most states.The Roe v. Wade case in 1973 protected a woman’s right to abortion until viability.
Take legal action against workplace sexual harassment. According to The Week, the first time a court recognized office sexual harassment as grounds for legal action was in 1977.

The Signs as Florence + the Machines Lyrics
Aries: Various Storms & Saints
You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
But even though it shocked you
Something’s electric in your blood
Taurus: Addicted To Love
Whoa, you would like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh, yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough,
You’re gonna have to face it—you’re addicted to love
Gemini: All This Heaven Too
And the heart is hard to translate
But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it
Cancer: Cosmic Love
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I’m always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
Leo: Rabbit Hearted Girl
I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
Virgo: Over the Love
‘Cause you’re a hard soul to save
With an ocean in the way
But I’ll get around it
I’ll get around it
Libra: No Light, No Light
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
When it’s over you’re the start
You’re my head, you’re my heart
Scorpio: Seven Devils
Holy water cannot help you now
Thousand armies couldn’t keep me out
I don’t want your money
I don’t want your crown
See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
Sagittarius: Dog Days Are Over
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
Capricorn: Shake It Out
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
‘Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It’s always darkest before the dawn
Aquarius: Strangeness & Charm
Hydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself, our blood is boiling
And the pressure in our bodies that echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles that burn it all because they aim for each other
And although we stick together it seems that we are stranging one another
Pisces: Hardest Of Hearts
There is love in your body but you can’t hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts
