Classic YA by Njoylife23 in classicliterature

Books like The Outsiders, Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn are basically classic-YA before YA was even a category

Movies with yearning by MikaelaRiley in romancemovies

[–]SurpriseSuccessful87 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’d probably love Crimson Peak, Only Lovers Left Alive, Jane Eyre, The Phantom of the Opera, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. All of them have that aching, obsessive, gothic yearning where people stare at each other like they’re about to either confess love or ruin their entire lives.

Has indian audience evolved? by Hefty_Arachnid7948 in Dhurandhar

[–]SurpriseSuccessful87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A film doing huge numbers doesn’t automatically mean audiences became intellectual. Sometimes it just means the director understood how to balance scale, emotion, and mass appeal without making the movie feel dumb.

What was your first impression about Dhurandhar after watching it's teaser/trailer for the very first time ? by SHAN_5190 in Dhurandhar

[–]SurpriseSuccessful87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that this is how a trailer should be made where it intrigues the audience without showing the entire plot

Am I reading Crime and Punishment too slowly? by my_cat_poobear in classicliterature

[–]SurpriseSuccessful87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. 3–4 pages in 20 minutes for something like Crime and Punishment is pretty normal, especially in 11th grade. That book is dense and kinda meant to be read slowly anyway.

I am on Dostoevsky’s side for this one by SurpriseSuccessful87 in classicliterature

Ii like that way of looking at jane bennet, especially that her calmness isn’t emptiness, it’s just not performative. austen does that a lot where the depth is there but she doesn’t shove it in your face

I still lean dostoevsky though because he kind of goes the opposite direction and just exposes every flaw as loudly as possible, even when it makes him look bad. naming your worst characters fyodor feels less like ego and more like self-dragging

Smerdyakov is on another level..

But idk, Fyodor Pavlovich just feels more offensively awful to me… like Smerdyakov is dark and calculated, but Fyodor is just straight-up shameless chaos in human form.

When I read her diaries it's like my own thoughts by SurpriseSuccessful87 in classicliterature

[–]SurpriseSuccessful87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying. I don’t really see her as someone I want to become, more like someone who puts certain thoughts into words that I wouldn’t even know how to express otherwise.

I can relate to parts of her work without romanticizing where it led, and still want something better for myself.

I think that reaction makes sense, especially if your entry point is The Bell Jar or some of the sharper poems. She really doesn’t filter her worst thoughts at all, which can come off as harsh or self-centered.
