No woman can, truly. They are simply inferior roastwhores beneath me in every way (except in the bedroom, but I don't care because I'm redpilled and know that all modern women are worthless)

GERTRUDE STEIN MY NIGGA

>>8637694
Most of the fun of Charlotte Bronte is that she's (in Jane Eyre anyway, Villette's pretty down to earth) incredibly heightened and reads more like a romance (not that kind) despite the social stuff, though

>> No.8637752

Do any Anons here have an opinion on Emily Bronte?

I'm reading Wuthering Heights and not really liking it so far, all the characters seem indistinguishable, down to the pattern of their speech, namely specific esoteric adjectives they all seem fond of using; overall the book doesn't seem to be well written.

>>>8637752
I think the "fun" of the book is the violence and tension that generates between the characters, specially Catherine and Heathcliff

>> No.8637802

>>8637694
Maybe some don't get or don't like the social and moral correctness that woman's realism tries to teach us (sometimes). Or for the m3m3s

Evelyn Waugh's stuff is pretty funny
I know usually when women try to be funny it's usually pretty awful but old Evelyn is definitely the exception to the rule
