yes girl you are so [if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more] [hands are unbearably beautiful] [i'll take care of you it's rotten work not to me not if it's you] [if you are intolerable let me be the one to tolerate you] [i could recognise him by touch alone] [i love you i want us both to eat well] [on purpose i love you on purpose] [whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same] [i am half agony half hope] [you have bewitched me body and soul and i love love love you] [he is half of my soul as the poets say] [i'm sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for but i'm so lonely] [i love you most ardently] [let me stay tender hearted despite despite despite] [someone has to leave first this is a very old story there is no other version of this story] [mostly i want to be kind] [tell me how all this and love too will ruin us] [you said i killed you haunt me then] [someone somewhere can you understand me a little love me a little] [i will love you as misfortune loves orphans as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong] [sorry about the blood in your mouth i wish it was mine] [who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me] can we kiss now

i just got to the part of pride & prejudice in like. chapter 34 when mr. darcy goes to lizzy and says "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." and um. yeah if I were a girl in the regency era reading this for the first time right as it was published they would've sent me to the seaside to treat my hysteria

(some of) my literary roman empires
benedick’s “you” —> “thou” switch in 4.1
the extended portrait metaphor in pride and prejudice
may welland
the repression of female emotions in victorian fiction
henry’s “a country dance as an emblem of marriage” speech in northanger abbey + the way that 19th century dance scenes prefigure marriage in general
the moment in jane eyre when mr. rochester asks jane if she finds him handsome and she says “no, sir”
victorian floriography
ophelia’s final scene
ww1 solider poetry (sassoon, owens, rosenberg, brooke etc.)
the ambiguity surrounding bertha mason
juliet’s “O romeo, romeo, wherefore art thou romeo?” breaks from iambic pentameter because the name romeo has too many syllables so the problem is literally his name
éponine thénardier (just everything about her but especially the “i am the devil” scene)

when jane austen said "there are few people whom i really love, and still fewer of whom i think well" and when dostoyevsky said "the more i love mankind as a whole, the less i love individual people..."

time to lay in bed again, wondering why a man written by Jane Austen in a billowing white shirt isn't professing his undying love to me in prose
