insane of neil jordan to write all that as a fundamentally normal love story. like you have other media where the redacted (sub)text IS problematic because it makes the characters Worse. it makes them have unhealthy insane relationships. it makes them want to bite each other. meanwhile cesare and lucrezia are literally normal??? theyre in love! hed die and kill for her yet they both marry other people and are annoyed by it like anyone whose lover is in a relationship w someone else would be.
