did he just jump out a helicopter. I wonder what man was trying to accomplish. what did he think would happen when he jumped.. out a helicopter.
my gods there was someone on comix saying roth deserves to cripple anna for leaving him
That, actually really happened in the novel
He did what!!!
I know ughh I was rage tearing at that part it felt like steam was coming out my eyes
he cut the tendons in her ankle so she could never leave and forbid anyone from touching her wheelchair so he could be the only one to take her anywhere
Yeah and the part where there misunderstandings was never cleared was the most frustrating part, but I think the author has slightly differ from the novel, I hope they have a different ending though
"being raped as a child doesn't justify cheating" no one said that. just like no one said "being cheated on doesn't justify retaliation rape." except I haven't seen a single person address it so I will: you do not rape your lover for cheating on you. being cheated on does not justify rape. nothing will ever justify nor serve as an explanation for rape. fuckin hell. so much to say about nicola being a cheater but crickets about lorenzo being a rapist. go breathe fresh air and talk to real people.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE SOON GIVE HIM BACK YOU OLD TWAT
seonhee (sunny)? babys name? do y'all have any guesses? I wonder if they forgot baby still nameless..
okay I was wrong. seol is cuter too!

I think the director is seryeongs eomma. the facts that they resemble each other, the gaps in her childhood memory, and the unease director feels in response to the owl solidify this theory for me. what I just can't figure out it is: what exactly does the owl mean to the organization..
if it feels like the story is moving slowly, that's bc it is but it isn't stuck, it is still. I understand it can be frustrating or boring to be still but stillness is the point and demand of melancholy: the central theme of tears on a withered flower (clear indicator hello one of the most melancholic (albeit basic) titles of ever). the narrative focus of melancholy is introspection and self-reflection which require characters to sit w their thoughts, emotions, and history. that's why we get an entire chapter of feelings and monologues. the characters use them to pull the story along slowly as their emotional states evolve as opposed to action-driven stories where progress is quicker due to the plot pushing characters into conflict and resolution. in a melancholic work, the conflict is largely internal so the resolution is found not fought. okay I'm done w the 101 so I just wanna say I appreciate melancholy. it's something I tend to look for in stories (films n tv too not just lit), as an introvert who requires extended periods of alone time w my inner world in order to process the world and interact w it. and for anyone who often wonders what you'd find if you could just unscrew the top of another person's head to see inside their mind, I think (hope) you can enjoy such stories as much as I do.
