You say you enjoy fine literature and comprehend it? Fine.

Here's a prompt and a list of books. You have 50 minutes to prove you read classics and understood the major plot and themes.

Lady Dulcinea has horselike hair, yet still is a damsel for Don Quixote de la Mancha. It'd be hard to describe Don Quixote without just answering the prompt.

The Catcher In The Rye is about how Elliot Rodger goes to school and can't come to terms with his own ego and inferiority. A cautionary tale of how ones "self" can reduce them into non-existence if not properly addressed. It is not entirely their fault but enough of their fault for them to still be at fault. The moral is, do not become this person.

Gatsby. Idealism had negative impacts because he thought being rich would make up for him being a cuck-boy. He died for it. Like a bitch.

Candide, pangloss is just a reductio ad absurdem of Leibniz's idea that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
