A guy whose world is falling down around his ears but who won’t give the smug prick delivering the news the satisfaction of a reaction. 

-yet another fucking thing that Adam was brilliant in.

“Film historian-interviewer Gregory Mank got to the root of the mystery behind the actress’s curiously bird-like quality in her performance as the Bride: Lanchester’s conception of the part was based partially on observing the swans in Regents Park, particularly in the way they “hissed” when provoked. Staring wide-eyed, jerkily reacting to every movement around her, it’s a tightly coiled performance of sheer instinct and energy. The Bride’s “look” is a classic ’30s concept, more of a hairstyle than a makeup. Lanchester’s natural red hair was teased up in an unworldly, fright-wig style, a wavy white streak suggesting a baptism by lightning. It’s a cartoonish design, perhaps too over-the-top, but executed with Jack Pierce’s usual finesse and artistry.” –  Universal Horrors: The Studio’s Classic Films, 1931-1946, 2d ed., 2011, p.127

“Through this amount of pain and embarrassment, something is happening that he’s never experienced before. When it’s over, he’s enlightened. They’ve just lashed something out of him. Whatever potential he had inside him, they’ve just allowed him to access it.”

No seriously I can’t stop thinking about Snape being the half blood prince. Him stealing away a little nickname for himself, perhaps to bolster him when life gave him its ass to kiss. A secret little bit of pride he could hold on to when he was constantly reminded of how he lacked. But Snape’s status as Prince wasn’t just a moniker he adopted, a nickname he gave himself, it was something he simply was, something he was born as. His birthright/claim to Prince is validated not by the characters acknowledging him as such but by the text itself, with chapters centring him referring to him as Prince e.g. “The Flight of the Prince” or “The Prince’s Tale.” Of all the characters, the legions of aristocratic, pure blood, upper crust characters crawling around this universe, the Prince is this strange little man who lived a wretched life, a life defined by cruelty and bitterness but also bravery and selflessness, a Prince from humblest origins.
