#see i don't know what the plot of le cid is because we didn't do it in french lit class
Text
Overanalysing texts isn't just for published literature, you can also do it with fanfic if you're motivated enough!
#brought to you by a fic i read having a character say 'i don't hate you'#when what they really meant was 'i love you but i can't say it'#the parallel is with corneille's le cid - a classic of french literature (which i haven't read but a lot of the quotes are famous)#see i don't know what the plot of le cid is because we didn't do it in french lit class#but midway through the main couple (i think?) are talking about their relationship#and how they love each other and how they can't be together or something#and the girl tells her guy 'go‚ i do not hate thee'#obviously what she really means is 'i love you but i can't say it'#and i find it beautiful and cool and wonderful that for centuries#we've been making characters say 'i don't hate you' when they really mean 'i love you but i can't say it'#the understanding to say the opposite.... classic use of stylistic devices and speech figures in french#figures of speech? figures of speech. whatever#like... the POETRY#and i Know that the author of the fic didn't mean it like that#hey maybe i should tell them in the comments. that would be a fun thing to say#wow i have a ramble tag now#fandom nerdery
