@SmrutiRajpara It's also interesting that he'll never change, but @ the same time is always contradicting himself, & that behavior is constant #laylit18

Even nature is taking sides, with the storm ruining Henchard's plan while the weather is clear and pleasant for Frafrae's #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Henchard's pressure on EJ to change her last name to his reflects the significance of identity to him #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Henchard's constant irony throughout the novel reflects the fluidity of morals and behavior shown by other characters #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Harry's attention to High-Place Hall details in ch.21 could be foreshadowing an unpleasant event #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

@ZoeVallejo3 I found that interesting too, how the event that should have caused so much misery ended up being a positive influence on her #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Destructive drinking, like in the TSAR with Jake, is seen in MoC with Michael #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

while Hemingway uses short, clipped sentences and vague undertones in his writing 2/2 #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

The difference in writing styles between Hemingway and Hardy are interesting, with Hardy using long descriptions to get exact detail ..1/2

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

agriculture and industrial. What do you think this means? #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Hardy, much like Hemingway, integrates nature into literature. Casterbridge's setting is mix between... 1/2

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

The contrast in the walk to Weydon-Priors by Susan & EJ from ch.1 to ch.3 (misery to content), shows Newson's positive influence #laylit18

tweeting about life rn - the Flash season 4 premiere has left me shook

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

@nikihkmr It's also parallels how Brett asked Jake if he still loves her & once he said yes, she said that she's in love w/ Romero #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Brett's need for control over men leads her to be uneasy and out of character w/ Romero who challenges her w/ his real masculinity #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

The comparison between fiesta and war reflects how the war left Jake injured physically and mentally and the fiesta will as well #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Ch.17-Jake feels drunker than ever before, destructive drinking has been a recurring theme & foreshadows upcoming climactic moment #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

@stoodypatel I also felt their easy nature together was a way Hemingway could have shown undertones of sexuality and male bonding #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

Lost Generation could be a reason why Brett,Jake,&Bill travel, they wander around countries bc they feel they don't have a purpose #laylit18

[Riya Alluri @AlluriRiya]

@nikihkmr I also thought it was because the lack of Brett's presence and Jake not needing to put up a front of masculinity #laylit18
