bro. bro you are romantisizing the secret history. bro you are enamored with the greek class just like richard. bro you are ignoring the bad things and creating aesthetics based on a book telling a murder of a young man. brother.

So I was thinking about Henry being either an antihero or antivillain and such. And I have come upon a conclusion- from Bunny's perspective Henry Winter is the Villain, but from everyone else's perspective Henry Winter is the love interest.

Recently I’ve been going about my days on an awful sleep schedule and I’ve been experiencing all these side effects (fatigue, heart palpitations, paranoia etc you get the deal) meanwhile all I can think of is Henry, a known insomniac, who was dealing with all sorts of bullshit throughout the book. Like yeah no shit he had a ritualistic orgy in the forest, no shit he wanted to poison his bff (and himself!!!) with mushrooms, no shit he was bending over backwards to make sure he didn’t get caught.

Today I discovered that a couple of TSH characters were based on actual people Donna Tartt knew at Bennington College- amongst them were students Todd O'Neal and Matt Jacobsen, who were the inspiration for Henry and Bunny respectively.

AND JUST—

There's even their own comments about it and it's so funny wait:

PD: Hi, I'm doing a survey on Aesthetics for my university research, anyone who knows what aesthetics are can answer and I'd be very happy!

Life is short. Drink another coffee. Read another book. Listen to your favourite song again. Hug your mom. Laugh. Cry. Dance in the rain. Push your friend off a cliff because of a milkshake.

A morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.
