At last he said brusquely, ‘I have an idea that Tonio is sodomizing the boy.’
(Shit!)
‘Does that surprise you? He’s your son, the spitting image of you.’
(Shit!)
‘Matilde, you aren’t about to accuse me of...’
‘Darling, please don’t be ridiculous. If I say he’s the spitting image of you, it’s because it’s true; that’s all there is to it.’ (Father was about to say something, but chose instead to gulp down his wine. Mother, in turn, controlled her voice, which for a moment had almost become completely alien to her parlor.) ‘I know something about sodomy,’ she said. ‘It’s the nature of men.
‘It reminds me of when I was sixteen. Do you remember?’ (Father thought it best not to answer.) ‘The boy who used to dog my footsteps from the time I was a little girl, a handsome, husky nineteen-year-old named Carlos, who always put himself between my gaze and the rest of the world, the son of my family’s estate manager, and who, as it turned out, would marry me—a decision I made myself—that boy had fire. He didn’t want to get me pregnant before we got married, but he had a burning desire to “express himself in me”—and I’m not making a word of this up, that’s just what he said—and felt it more strongly every day.

sometimes characters are written so spectacularly that it's almost like there's nothing for anyone else to say bc the author already said it all. like what analysis can you provide that the author didn't already weave into their work. characters that are written so well that all you can do is carry them with you because they speak for themselves. characters that are so wonderful you don't even feel the need to come up with headcanons or anything bc the source material already fed you and stuffed you. i'm speaking of ms katniss everdeen here of course btw
