"X character didn't truly love Z character, they just loved the idea of them", what does that even mean? Especially when it's used for stories with a very clear-cut, in your face romantic theme/undertone. Like, what does that mean? How does one distinguish the two? Did romeo love the idea of juliet or the real juliet? Did gatsby truly love daisy or did he love the idea of daisy? Who will tell us? Gatsby did lose his life for that woman so why does it actually matter if he loved an "idealized" version of her or the "real her"? Is it really important for the story? Does it actually change anything or is it just a catchphrase? Can you clearly distinguish the people you have loved for what they truly were, from the people you had merely idealized? Even if you can, does this distinction make your feelings for them any less real and intense and impactful for your life? Like I don't care if I loved the idea of someone or the real person, all I care about is what I felt and how it affected me and changed my life. That's what fiction does, it gives you the ability to connect with real, intense, unfiltered human emotions which are an integral part of human experience. Fiction is not therapy. Please stop sanitizing art thank you

There is something about classic literature that hits different - which is not to say that modern literature lacks depth - there is just something so incredible about reading something and knowing that these same words were consumed by people decades, centuries before you took your first breath. And they loved and felt the stories the way you do& despite all the time separating you you’re still connected…

there's a lot of talk out there on the blogosphere about people misreading/misinterpreting the great gatsby as an endorsement of gatsby's mindset and lifestyle, but imo the person who misread the book the WORST was none other than one nick carraway. dude met a living metaphor and took him completely at face value 😔
