Status Updates From Silas Marner

This book is bringing me so much joy right now

I wanted to prime myself for Middlemarch…. So far most of this is easy to read and then every so often there’s a sentence or passage you need to re-read like 5 times

Absolutely precious

Oh priscilla lammeter, the feminist icon that you are

Why have I always heard this book is boring?! I’m so engrossed in this story!

SILAS NOOOOO

reading this for school… I don’t even know what I’m reading if I’m being totally honest. “He gazed longingly at ____.” Um. Yk.. sigh

C’est très drôle mais ENFIN LE BÉBÉ AAAA

Yo viendo que le hicieron al prota 🫡 JUSTICIA

Me tiene atrapada.

"The Squire's life was quite as idle as his sons', but it was a fiction kept up by himself and his contemporaries in Raveloe that youth was exclusively the period of folly, and that their
aged wisdom was constantly in a state of endurance mitigated by sarcasm." ha ha ha

تاااازه اون چیزی که به عنوان خلاصه‌ی پشت جلد می‌نویسن اتفاق افتاده! نکنید آقا کل کتاب رو تو معرفیش اسپویل نکنید!

یه جایی وسط این فصل سر کتاب داد زدم چی ... میگی😭 سر کتاب داد زدم. خداوندا.

I was humpscared by sixteen year leap in the narrative out of nowhere.

Eliot's use of symbolism continues to break me and inspire me.

Eliot's descriptive prose and symbolism ya'll...SO GOOD👌🏼

Introduction très interessante, hate de commencer !!

p.17/157. Chapter III.

WILLIAM DANE YOU LYING SNAKE

فقط واسه اینکه یه کتاب از جورج الیوت خونده باشم می‌خوام تمومش کنم. نثرش روانیم کرد. و به‌شدت فراموش‌شدنیه! بعد از کمتر از یک ماه برگشتم سراغش و یک سری مسائل یادم رفته بود!

“In old days, there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white-winged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently towards a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child’s.”

george eliot is once again Christ-haunted

the transfiguration of gold into child, of lust into love, is so lovely // others drawing us from ourselves, into communion

when i catch you William Dane...

Gud

historians will call them roommates smh…

دراپ کنم یا نکنم مسئله این است.

آقا توروخدا من نمی‌فهمم این چی داره می‌گه😐😐😐

"کسانی که به منطق آن قالب‌هایی خو کرده‌اند که دربرگیرنده‌ی احساس مذهبی‌شان است، مشکل می‌توانند وارد آن حالت ذهنی ساده و نیاموخته‌ای بشوند که در آن هرگز قالب احساس بر اثر تامل و تفکر درهم نشکسته است."

وای خدا چه متن عجیبی داره. یکم‌ چپل چلاق می‌زنه. ساختارش فارسی نیست.

Eliot is sooo good at writing characters that fill me with rage

What a great story! And it’s filled with Eliot’s incisive comments on the human condition and great character building.
