“if i cannot inspire love, i will cause fear…”

oh how i love this quote. how deeply it feels intertwined with me. how i read this entire chapter with a knot in my chest every single time.

i just told my german professor the turkish title of the play and his immediate reaction was “that sounds like a tongue twister,” as if EIN SOMMERNACHTSTRAUM is exactly the pinnacle of pronounceability.

the painfully familiar feeling of being unlovable in this book is going to kill me one day.

here we go again

very engaging introduction

i can't with this irish dialect

oh how i missed my absolute favorite EVER

despite being so deeply invested in the story, my one real issue with this book is that i have to finish it in four days, because there’s no way i'm taking a fucking 600 page brick on my flight.

now that i've read babel, dare i say... yellowface might not be a five-star after all. don't get me wrong, it's still incredible, but babel was on a whole different level. there were so many moments where i literally got chills, like real, full-body chills. now i'm going to read the poppy war trilogy and katabasis, but i can't help wondering... what could possibly top THIS? we'll see.

"laura was highly distressed when she felt the space-ship of love slowing down in flight."

sigh. the way this quote perfectly captures the exact collapse and consuming panic i've felt in every emotional connection i've ever experienced.

sent shivers down my spine.

my poor cordelia :(

what really cracks me up is the fact that the main characters are named agnes and paul, since this whole hamnet thing literally altered my brain chemistry lol

dude i'm going to lose my fucking eyesight by the time i finish this book. what’s with this microscopic ass font size?

angela, the woman that you are...

one of the most underrated shakespeare plays ever

lenore, honey, what are you waiting for to dump your husband’s useless ass?

the sylvia plath bit just emotionally wrecked me. actual tears.
