122: THE TOWER WITH BIG BEN WOO THAT PHRASING! why is it ethical to be greedy about animals but not humans? the contrast between ben's merry feast and the sinister pie customers is so interesting

the concept of by the sea... oh slovett would HATE IT.

rereading the synopsis of the sweeney todd musical (which i did see on broadway 2 years ago but hardly remember) with my mouth open WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE???

121: sad for slovett like i'm sad for efosco and pmerlyn :'( her entire house trashed to pieces by her own mirror image the very afternoon of her death! how she refuses to sit opposite! it's so tragically freudian

120: such a theme of resurrection. mark! the dog not forgetting his master yet hmm. dogs being smarter than humans. i wish lupin had been more closely tied to the rest of this. and the asylum people. i wanted them to be not just parallels but actually involved. your honor slovett killed no one. your honor she played housewife. your honor i'm sad for her.

119: can't help feeling sad for him. the strict prohibition of suicide is really really comical

oh no internet archive DOWN so i can't track my percentages. anyway, todd and lovett are kind of romeo and juliet too aren't they??? one thinking the other is dead LOL hahahaha

118: so cheesy. so sweet. love.

??? different editions? they told him he died

117: plumping into the river lol. also who is narrating this and why do they get to decide what's worth telling. also the aside. theatrical.
