Clare-Dragonfly So… what does he think the creature is doing?! And Elizabeth apparently thinks Victor is an idiot, since she assumes he doesn‘t remember how a girl described as a great favorite of his came to join the household 😂 2d
ElizaMarie @dabbe yeah he is very #OutOfSightOutIOfMind about this creature 2d
KAO It‘s unbelievable how the creature is simply not a concern! I kept waiting for comments indicating Victor‘s worry—or at least curiosity!! 2d
Bklover What creature?? Ohhhhh, that one!! 23h

dabbe Victor, Victor ... you had to know that reattaching parts from corpses and then sewing them back together was not going to produce a handsome creature. You ran away because he's ugly? Or did you run away from yourself and the fact that you just tried to play God over the universe? You literally have messed with Mother Nature, and she's gonna get ugly on your ass. #mytwocents 3d
BarkingMadRead @dabbe 💯💯💯 3d
KAO @Bookwormjillk 😂Yes! What could possibly go well after abandoning this new life form?!?! 3d
Bklover @dabbe It‘s not nice to fool Mother Nature!😉 3d
ElizaMarie Frankie - OH NO!!! Must run!!! 2d

Brideshead Revisited | Evelyn Waugh

Pickpick

First published in 1945, BR stands as a landmark of 20th-century British literature. It is a complex novel that defies simple categorization, being at once a nostalgic elegy, a social critique, and a profound theological drama. It is not a light read, nor is it intended to be a comforting one. It is a demanding, melancholic, and deeply philosophical novel. Its greatest strength lies in its beautiful prose and its unflinching exploration of ⬇️

dabbe faith, memory, and the human heart in conflict with itself. However, its deliberate pace, the potential remoteness of its characters' dilemmas, and its challenging theological conclusions mean it may not resonate equally with all readers. It is a book to be admired, pondered, and felt, rather than simply enjoyed.

Thank you, @BarkingMadRead, and the #hashtagbrigade, for this one. Even finishing late, I still couldn't have read it without you.

Clare-Dragonfly So condescending about other fields of study! 4d
Seabreeze_Reader 😂😂😂 to the posted meme above. After the creepy descriptions via Victor, the online persona sounds like a less gruesome option. 4d

Bookwormjillk They always kill the mothers 🤷‍♀️ 5d
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk the poor moms! They never stand a chance! 5d

dabbe Maybe the moms die to spur the children to grow up and go on their quest. Victor's mom definitely did that for him. I find it interesting, too, that Victor ignores the warnings of his first professor, Krempe, just as Walton seems to ignore Victor: both are blinded by their ambition to gain glory. Walton wants to find the northwest passage, and Victor wants to aid society through science. As @BarkingMadRead knowingly said, #whatcouldgowrong? 5d
Clare-Dragonfly And the mom‘s dying wish is for Victor and Elizabeth to get married 😬 5d
ElizaMarie The whole — everything you studied is useless start over got me! 5d
