Alright, /lit/. I have a Literature exam at 8:30am which is three hours away. For one section of the course we studied Pride and Prejudice - except, well, me. So would you koindly give me a general breakdown of characters, events or anything important, with some analysis. Yes, I know, go to Spark Notes or where ever, but I'd rather just get the bare bones rather than have to sift through all of that.

Cheers in advance.

shit, is that some Frog and Toad?

I loved them.

So let me get this right... you didn't read Pride and Prejudice because, y'know, too much to read. Now you're considering reading Sparknotes, but that's, y'know, too much to read also...

Why are you taking a literature class?

>> No.1795440

>>1795431

I don't know. It became tedious after the first few weeks when it was just

>pride and prejudice
>feminist literature/women's identity

Neither of those interested me, though the latter was assignment based and I received an A in that, and that's 40% of the course I believe. Then it was Wordsworth's lyrical ballads which is the other exam text, I'm going over that now but I'm not worried for it really.

What guy would seriously read and enjoy Pride and Prejudice? It's a load of tripe.

The best part about you besides your stunning humility is your incredible ability to recognize sarcasm. Combined with your ability to call others narcissistic while still being incredibly humble, it makes quite a package. You're a true renaissance man of self-regard.

You are everything that is wrong with students today. I hope you fail at life and that your favorite shirt gets bleached in the washing machine next time you do laundry.

Seriously, I hate lazy-ass faggots like you. You're the reason profs can't even teach something like The Winter of Our Discontent without having 3/4 of the class go into comas and write papers about how nothing happened in the novel.

Here's a protip for you: read the damn assignment. If you can't suck it up enough to even read the damn Sparknotes and are too retarded to have figured out beforehand that godknowshowmany movie adaptations exist that you could have watched at any damn time, you deserve to fail. I hope you flip burgers for the rest of your pathetic life.

I don't think you even understand. I am a perfect student. If you had seen the rest of my class try to even comprehend the novel, you would shrivel up in a misanthropic ball that clearly you're already breaching. It's not that I don't have the level of intellectual capacity to read it; I picked the wrong subject to study, and there's no going back until after I finish my exam.

Stop criticizing this man, this perfect genius, this paragon of intellectuallness. Even trying to understand his level of perfection would crush your mundane little mind, shatter it into a level of perfection. Only a true GENIUS could ever be too lazy to read Sparknotes. He's so perfect that he hasn't read the assignment or even cheated and is asking for help on /lit/. He just destroyed all of academia with his mind. You fucking CHILDREN are trying to criticize him. You're just AFRAID. Afraid of what he might do. Afraid of what he might become. AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.

You don't understand the meaning of the word "perfect," do you? A "perfect" student would suck it up and just read the novel instead of being a whiny-ass little bitch like you. A decent student would at least read the goddamn Sparknotes. A stupid fucking cunt comes to /lit/ and expects everyone else to read it for him and give him the short version of the abbreviated version so he can pass his test.

Grown up. Sometimes you have to take classes and read stuff that you don't necessarily want to read. Get over it. Life's full of doing shit you don't want to do; you should get used to it now, sissy.

Evidence of me "whining"? I just explained that the course wasn't for me and I hadn't been to many of the lessons. And I've used Spark Notes, can you not read? I'm only in this thread now to indulge on your tears. You're clearly butthurt.

And "a little guidance" is a suggestion about a couple themes. You're asking /lit/ to break down the entire book because your fag ass is too lazy to even look through the already bare bones version on Sparknotes. I'd say I wished you suffered an aneurysm, but I'm pretty sure you don't have enough blood in your brain for that to happen.

Do you realize that you wasted 2 and a half hours of your time trolling people who just sat at their computers reading a book at the same time? I mean that is what we would have done anyways.

You should have gone to /v/ to keep them from their video games, or /y/ to keep them from their sexy men sex, or /k/ to keep them from their gun shooting.
