Status Updates From Break the Beast (A Classic ...

No matter how many times I read it, Chapter 26 always makes me emotional... <3

"If you're going to hello, I'm going with you," is still one of my favorite lines. :)

The campfire sceneeeeeee. 😍

"There is a strange exhilaration in being completely free from trying to win men's understanding."

"I do not know if I am free--but I think I am beginning to be."

The sea beast scene always has me 😍😍😍

"All of us live only to die, so it seems to me that the greatest goal in life is that we die well. We are all moving towards the end. But the fortunate die twice. The second time is at the end of life, but before that, some die to self--putting their pride, their ideas, their desires on the altar and slaying them as an offering."

The end of part one (the dream/vision) made me cry.

I also had to pound the desk and muffle a scream.

This might be my new favorite scene.

Chapter 8 always has me 😭

*me reading the fight in the storm between Beowulf and Grendel as if I didn't write it like*

Unferth would have loved the world of modern podcasting.

Auschere! 🥹

I really like this retelling more than I thought I would but we shall see.
