Status Updates From Hag-Seed

"...The animalskin cape was a bridge too far. They saw the sketches. They say you’d have the animal rights activists down on us like a swarm of hornets.”
“That’s ridiculous,” said Felix. “Those aren’t real animals, they’re children’s toys!”
“As you must realize,” said Tony with condescending patience, “that isn’t the point. They look like animals."

🤣🤣

i read to this page like a week ago but i’ve been busy working so i haven’t had the chance to update

i'm loving this book but im so anxious for the third act conflict that it pains me to keep reading :')

ugh i kinda hate you felix you’re mad

bitch u fucking crazy

Atwood introducing an undercurrent of Indigenous land ownership besides the backdrop of Incarceration within an interpolation of the Tempest and Shakespeare's Caliban. Perfect, no notes and incredibly intelligent.
i pray this goes into deep critique or commentary and doesn't just drop off.

anne-marie is the most relatable character in this book. i too crave a free burger and fries

I actually started this like 2 days ago but forgot to put it on, but I have to read this for school so here we are. I love Margaret Atwood’s writing and I feel like the story is really interesting but the annotating and stuff is really killing me like I just don’t want tooooo

felix was the first person to be successfully cancelled in 2013 #byesister

we're back on the school lit grind...

this was weird and kinda hard to get through but an interesting way to read the tempest as i have not read the original

Die Sprache ist amüsant aber ich habe mir bei dem Titel was anderes erwartet 😅

je vois le bout !!!

doucement mais sûrement

honestly had a good reading flow until i was summoned outta my room.

not too bad for this author since i’ve only read the handmaids tale and that wasn’t my cup of tea but margaret might redeem herself

see i’m reading this for my english class even tho im on my 6 week break but it’s alway a slow read for me when it’s margaret atwood

uzun bir reading slumptan sonra here we are

Who knew Shakespeare could be great as a rap? ('Oh no! Oh no more Prospero' 🎶)

The whole curse-word thing is too funny

I am loving this

Just finished Part III

Absolutely thumbs up, very curious to see how it plays out. Have a better idea of what The Tempest if actually about, but still pretty foggy. Love that I’m learning about it while reading this story though!

Fantastic, I love it.

End of Part I. Definitely into it, will attempt to get through one part of five each day.

It’s good so far, funny for sure. Protagonist’s melodrama is fantastic.

it was so boring honestly. i kept hoping for some tragic ending or closure but it never came. i honestly didn’t really like the plot at all either. maybe it’s because i never read the tempest but regardless of that the second half of the book just wasn’t great. the grief journey was unsatisfying and i never really felt like felix changed. anyways that’s my take because my professor loved it.

This is the only Margaret Atwood I’ve read other than Handmaid’s and idk why I didn’t start reading her other books earlier. This is good

Note provisoire : 4.5/5

Vraiment, je regrette que le roman ne soit pas sur Molière pour mieux saisir les subtilités. Je suis sûr que c'est un délice quand tu adores Shakespeare et en particulier La Tempête. Parce que c'est déjà génial quand tu n'as jamais entendu parler de cette pièce.

Note provisoire : 4-4.5 / 5

C'est un très bel hommage au théâtre et à Shakespeare et aussi une belle histoire sur le deuil d'un enfant. Je regrette de ne pas mieux connaître Shakespeare pour pouvoir pleinement l'apprécier.

it’s okay. i love that this novel feels like a novel. it’s a lot of shakespeare and im not about it all the time. better than BNW but it’s whatever. for the class its a solid book.
