you ever read a paper that has such a bad faith-take on a female main character that you know without looking that it’s by a male author
#besides being really bad faith he’s also. breaking every rule of literary analysis I’ve ever learned#like yes absolutely you’re allowed to do biographical readings#but he’s mixing his readings in a way where he’s reading jane eyre as not only autobiographical for Brontë#but is also dragging in the main characters of all her other works? and reading jane through them?#without ever differentiating between reading the book psychoanalytically fo bronte or reading it as part of the oeuvre#furthermore he’s acting like jane is the author. newsflash she’s a character and a narrator#additionally! he’s treating jane as a person with free will instead of as a character#paradoxically he’s doing all of the above at the same time#and this is all in addition to reading Jane as duplicitious selfish and evil#and blaming her for being afraid of poverty as a physically emotionally and economically abused nine year old#cool story bro I’m not sure we read the same book 👍
