Close tie between this and Notes from the Underground. C&P inches it out because Notes is so damn depressing.

I like it because it's the ultimate critique of the sort of Nietzschean morality and atheism that's popular today. It teaches that within everyone, even a murderer and a prostitute, there is good, and where there is good there can be redemption. The price of declining redemption is shown by what happens to svidrigailov, you end up destroying yourself.

life's a dream - calderon

i like not only it's message, but the way it encapsulates the overall style and message of the baroque period (the best literary period imho because it has the sublime, mystical, romantic quality of romanticism, but unlike it, it has deeper meaning and a moral message, which became washed out and vague by later ages)

Hemingway taking the piss out of performative masculinity, something many have accused him of and I'm sure he recognized in himself.

Brett is the ultimate ball busting thot. She fucked her way into becoming a Lady. Playing every man for a fool, but Jake doesn't abide her crap for the most part. Jake is the most upright, outstanding, heroic male figure in the whole book. All these men are fighting for Brett's love but Jake's the only one she loves. He won't take her because he knows that story would only end in tears. He's everything a man should be, all the while without his genitals. Blown off the the war.

nice get bud. I thought that Jake was madly in love with Brett, and she rejected him because of his genital situation. Why else would he go to Madrid to pick her up after Romero was through with her?

He is, but he still rejects her. I can't remember the quote but she says "But we could try" with reference to them loving each other and running away together or something like that and he tells her no because it'd never work.

They love each other but he recognizes how important sex is to a relationship and wouldn't want her running around on him like she does her current husband. So he tell her to stop dreaming about a day they might be together and go on with her life.
