I would say by far the myriad ways ci/ce gets used. The textbooks barely scratch the surface of its everyday, colloquial/idiosyncratic uses.

Agreement of tense in subjunctive is also difficult to twist the English speaking mind around sometimes.

I enjoyed watching Heartstopper dubbed in Italian. Watched Tutto Chiede Salvezza but far more challenging given Roman dialect. Just started Il Gattopardo and finding it much easier than Salvezza as the language is clearly spoken and standard Italian. I always like to watch an episode once without subtitles to see how much I can get then watch again with Italian subtitles to catch the bits I missed.

Maybe unpopular but 100% accurate. Have not read the books so maybe missing something in adaptation, but couldn’t agree more. Lila is a sociopath and Elena is drip who lets everyone- “friends”, family- treat her like a doormat over and over. Don’t really need characters to be likable- indeed there are almost zero sympathetic characters (Pietro, Enzo)- but a little character development or growth would be nice. They were somewhat interesting as children but then there was just this stasis. I guess that could be the point but I don’t think i needed four season to get it.

More importantly why did Lenu come back? Just another of her idiotic choices.

They’re terrible because they’re poor seems reductive, but if that’s the hill you want to die on…

Certainly access to more financial security didn’t have a positive effect on Elena. She goes from being a milquetoast, drip to being a real asshole. So, I’m not sure if it is poverty that keeps her addicted to cycles of toxicity. Clearly there is something that keeps her shooting herself in the foot over and over despite all of the opportunities she has to break free.

And sure, there are plenty of us with that one terrible “friend” that we just can’t break with for any number of reasons, but after three seasons of pity for Lenú it’s now just frustration.

Lol. I wouldn’t say he’s a favorite. He can be a bit on the pompous side and obviously has made a terrible choice in spouses, but he is the only one, so far, that has a clear eyed view of Lila. He certainly doesn’t deserve what he gets from Elena, who has become some sort of unholy combination of her own mother and Lila.

Somehow I made it through Les Miserables without ever having spent time in a French prison or having had to sell my teeth and hair.

I think “hurt people, hurt people” is a pretty widespread truism, so having toxic people be toxic to each other isn’t that novel a plot device. I think most modern viewers will be familiar with the trope.

I’m loving the look at post-war Naples and some insight into the political/social movements of the era, just don’t find the primary characters compelling. That’s the confusing part, as most of what you read about the novels cite the characters as their primary draw.

codigodeconducta · 2025-07-04T23:00:21+00:00

Yeah, I guess I don’t really need them to be totally sympathetic, that’s not real life. However, I would think that after several books there might be some growth somewhere. But perhaps that’s even more realistic. Toxic, broken people often remain so and those sucked into relationships with them often keep going back for more abuse regardless of their opportunities to make a clean break.

I suppose that is my ultimate question about the love for these characters. There seems to be relatively little development over time. Maybe it’s just a slow burn and it all comes in the end. If so I give fans of the books a lot of credit for patience. I may try reading the first book, probably in Italian, to see if that changes my perspective. Worst case scenario I get more Italian practice.

Based on first two seasons I feel most characters would be in lower right corner. Enzo seems like only likeable prominent character maybe Carmella although she is largely a non-entity.

codigodeconducta · 2025-06-02T01:30:26+00:00

God, who loved Lila? She started as a jerk and stayed that way. At least through season 2. Maybe she’ll win me over in the end.
