john steinbeck thinks the manifestation of pure unadulterated evil is a woman that is aware of how the world exploits her and manipulates the evil already in men. that’s the most evil a person could ever be. worse than a pimp or a man that tries to kill his brother ok i get it

the whole james grew thing was so ethel cain coded woah. and cathy in general is really ethel cain coded

steinbeck goes into vast detail about cathy being born psychologically deformed which is rlly interesting because it removes her from blame even tho his entire intention is to show that morality can only exist with choice. ik later cathy’s children r scared to inherit her evil but ultimately make the choice against it… but then why is cathy still marked as evil when she has no choice, its ‘inherent’ in her

cathy is such a strange character. she’s rooted in understanding human weakness as sex and uses her sexuality from the age of TEN to manipulate and create chaos, but is posed as a perverse eve? while the men of the book visit whorehouses and are still nuanced characters. these men who exploit others are less bad than a woman that exploits herself? enraging

orlando is silly af i am highly enjoying his escapades. but that aside woolf is soooooooo good at writing i love her

“he wasn’t certain whether he was a good or bad person. whether he was altruistic. whether he was demonic. but he was certain of one thing. he was an artist.” i love this
