I'm just a memer, I don't actually hate women :)

I will die untouched by one, though, which is rather distressing

LONDON

I guess the most widely known ones in general would be something like Christ on the cross, Adam & Eve eating the fruit, the Flood, Odysseus and Polyphemus (or maybe Odysseus & the Sirens?), and Romeo under Juliet's balcony.

They do it all the time.

Also hard to write holy books when you're illiterate

>>8902092
That cigar is definitely not just a cigar

You're not thinking straight. Don't pick what you think is relevant for you but what most people know. What everyone knows.

Crucifixion and resurrection of Christ
Adam and Eve eating from the tree
Quixote and the windmills
Romeo and Juliet balcony
The Excalibur crap

Sadly the Greeks and Romans aren't as popular, so unless you can count that horse in Troy, most people don't know about the war, Odysseus, or whatever the fuck.
Also you pretentious faggots nobody care you're not an illiterate nigger, so don't pick something from the Divine Comedy or Moby Dick, you stupid fucks.
If anything more biblical references can be added, like Moses splitting the sea or Abraham about to kill Isaac, or maybe even something else from Shakespeare, like some Hamlet maybe dunno dude lol

>>8903001
Also I'm not sure thinks from Harry Postre or The Lord of the Dicks will ever be considered for this list because they're known to most people from the movies and not the books does that make sense? Although I guess most people know about biblical references through other medium and all the others too.
Fuck me and fuck y'all ya bunch of nerds xd

>>8902943
Go away Bill Clinton.

>>8902277
This is correct. The real challenge is picking the most iconic scenes apart from the Bible. I would go with:

>Hamlets, "To be or not to be..." soliloquy.
>Dante descending to Hell
>Romeo under Juliet's stairs
>Scrooge's awakening on Christmas morning
>Lancelot and Guinevere cucking Arthur

Not saying these are the best, but these are probably the most iconic in the sense that the vast majority of the educated populace is familiar with them, either directly or indirectly.

>>8903056
That's ridiculous. No Dickens novel can be there man, what are you talking about? It's just stupid. You can't pick something from A Christmas Carol over Quixote. Use your head anon.

>>8903068

The vast majority of people haven't read or even been exposed to Cervantes. They may know Don Quixote has something to do with knights, but his exposure is nowhere near the level of Dickens--especially a Christmas Carol. Dickens is the most adapted writer to screen of all time, even surpassing Shakespeare.

Again, I'm not saying they are the best scenes, only the scenes which more people would be familiar with. The Trojan Horse is a good candidate as well.

>>8903090
So you actually think most people know about Scrooge than Quixote fighting the windmills? Is that correct? Are you really that young?

>>8903068
to be fair he's probably right, scenes from a christmas carol & great expectations at this point have been done and parodied far more in western and especially anglophone culture than Quixote. Scenes from Dickens span both childrens and adult works appear more frequently.
