at the beginning of last term i let a girl in my dorm borrow my copy of the secret history and later she gave me a tie with men hunting deer on it, like the one richard has in the book.

turns out the most effective way to make friends is to be a nerd

The reason I always thought there was something more to Camilla than what we read is because the book is from the perspective of Richard who was supposed to be in love with her.

I always got some unsettling energy from the twins, they were just too perfect at the start. By the end of the 2nd part it had changed when Charles showed his real colours. But Camilla throughout the story remained the only person to not have a flip of personality. Francis sheds off his "too cool for you" persona and becomes close with Richard. Henry....well Henry after killing Bunny stops functioning a little. Even Julian is no long the John Keating of the story but a normal person who as soon as found out his students killed two people, left them alone (what would you have done in that situation?)

I thought it was strange that Camilla never became anything more than a girl Richard liked, and later connected with Henry and Charles. I wished so much more for the character to be than that. And after the reveal of her and Henry's relationship (after Henry orchestrated Bunny's murder) I felt like Camilla has a dark side that Richard just ignored to portray her as the best of them. She seemed to be hiding something all the time.

I don't think she is a bad person, not at all. I think she has a more complex personality than being the goddess of a person Richard portrayed her to be. The amount of abuse she went through since childhood must have had some effect on her as a person. She didn't really deserved any of the guys. I wished in the end she would have just said "Stop!" And left all of them.

I would have liked to know more about Camilla, we don't get any insight to her at all, which made her not really my favourite character (especially during my first time reading when I was waiting for her to change a bit like everyone else)

The one scene at the restaurant with Bunny is weirdly funny to me because it’s Richard realizing that some people aren’t actually extremely repressed and are instead just homophobic because. The Secret History is a comedy.

Dying rn because Charles Macaulay had the balls to come out of the shower in a bathrobe and say “how about a kiss for your jailbird brother”.

Richard: who are them?

Judy: those are the weirdo greek kids, or as we affectionately call them "douchebags"

Judy: that little one is Francis Abernathy, he's rich as shit and cares about nobody.

Jud: he knows everything about everyone, that's why his coats are so big

Frank: they are full of secrets...

Richard: he looks cool.

Judy: whatever. See those two, don't be fooled, they are Charles and Camilla Macaulay, they are twins.

Jud: they might look like little angels but they are the one's who cause the real trouble.

Frank: they are also really incestuous.

Judy: the big blond one is Bunny Corcoran, he is one of the dumbest people you will ever meet.

Jud: he asked me how to spell "Metahemeralism"

Frank: he is the guy everyone loves to hate.

Richard: and who's the one in a suit?

Judy: .....that is Henry Winter, he is the leader of the group. He the richest, the smartest and the most insane out of all of them. How do I begin to explain Henry Winter....

Richard: I feel challenged.

Judy: it's okay, we can be your friends...

Richard: I am gonna go study greek, bye!

Judy: *sighs*
