The Terms Narcissist, Sociopath And Psychopath Do Not Mean "bad Person". Unlearn That.

why is Richard sickly for like 95% of the book he's always complaining about being exhausted and faint and nauseous and riddled with headaches and his solution is LETS HAVE MORE PILLS AND ALCOHOL??

Something I just realized, Odysseus calls Telemachus by his name throughout Act I. Then when he get back to Ithaca, anytime he references Telemachus he calls him a familial title.

“… and hurt my boy”

“You plotted to kill my son”

“Son.”

“Oh my son look how much you’ve grown. Oh my boy, sweetest joy I’ve known.”

“My son I’m finally home!”

Then he calls his son by name while they embrace.

“Telemachus. I’m home.”

I just think it’s interesting. It’s like he’s reminding himself of what his son‘s name is throughout the Trojan War and his journey home.

When he gets back, he’s letting everyone know he’s claiming Telemachus, and reminding the suitors that Telemachus is his son, and he is Telemachus’ father.

Finally, the first time he calls Telemachus by his name, is after the two of them have rekindled their relationship. (I Can’t Help But Wonder is basically the two of them sharing how he views the other.)

Richard Papen really started the book by saying he’s a compulsive liar and then just went “so anyway here’s what happened.”

"camilla led richard and henry on" and who said that? the men? including richard, world class manipulator who at one point wanted to beat and rape her? if sleeping or flirting with multiple boys in the group makes her an evil temptress then i suppose francis is also a slut and richard and charles are both evil for hooking up with him as "straight" men. but we all know why no one cares about that.

“Morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs” is such a banger line. Need that engraved on my tombstone.

If my friend group doesn't look like THIS, I don't want anything.

I think he has gucci in his wardrobe
