Forced Maturity

It is scarily interesting how much Natalia’s nickname Colometa foreshadowed the way her life would turn out to be and how her first husband, Quimet would later treat her. Pigeons, being wild animals that became domesticated for human usage align much with what the protagonist experiences after marrying Quimet. She is formed into the ideal wife and forced to care...

my computer died mid-way and I thought this hadn’t saved and was about to crash out

It took me longer to get through this novel, but as I slowly warmed up to the setting and the narrative, I became drawn in by Zobal’s world and character building. M’man Tine’s character, in particular, was what struck me the most. Her sacrifices and strict expectations since the time of raising Delia are what allowed the later generations of...

Freud has this RMST course in a chokehold

I have no words. In starting this book, I did not expect the book to pan out in the way that it had. There are so many aspects of the book that sent shivers of disgust through my body, yet also evoked a sense of pity and understanding for Agostino’s coming of age. One instance is the mixed role of...

Lovebombed by Nadja

Hello again! For this blog I’m going blindly off of my instinctual interpretation and will watch the lecture after so that my rant is as pure to my thoughts as possible. (Because for some odd reason I felt strongly about this novel…) In honesty, I thought that the book could have begun in the second part of the novel. However,...

Memories = a mosaic

I’m not gonna lie, guys… this was a tough one to get through 🙁 Though after finishing the reading and watching the lecture, I can see how the difficulty and challenge in understanding Proust are part of the Modernism era. The start of Swann’s Way jumped back and forth between narration and memories, which seemed to have no correlation to...

Late Night Thoughts

Hello all! I was really stretching it when I decided to start this assignment this close to the deadline, but I remembered that it was supposed to be a “looser” deadline since it’s the start of the week, so prof, please forgive me 🙂 I’m Quizzy, but you can call me Qui or Izzy in the comments. My parents are...
