@ZoeVallejo3@AdeleKong99 That’s true but I also think that the movie brings up a flaw within society. People change drastically when they get into a relationship and Phil is no different. In Phil’s case, the relationship changed his life for the better but that’s not always how it works in life #laylit18
@EmilyJolly_lit I think Adam was an eye-opening experience for her not only within her personal life but within her career as well. Therefore I think she’ll change #Laylit18
I think there’s a difference between suicide and what Adam did. In my opinion, suicide is cowardly, but I don’t think standing up for your religious beliefs is, even if it kills you in the process. (Not saying that I’d do that, but I also don’t think Adam is a coward) #laylit18
@EshaanSoman I think we’ve already seen him changing. He’s gone from being scared of his fate to embracing it and doing wild things because he knows there are no repercussions. #laylit18
@EshaanSoman I don’t think saving a life is wasting it. Sure, Adam might now believe in blood transfusions but I don’t think he’d view his life as a waste after being giving a second shot at survival #laylit18
@stoodypatel I agree. I think he’s at an age where he’s mature enough to make a decision about his life. While there is no way of proving if the opinions are his own, I feel if I were in his position, I wouldn’t back down to my parents if it meant taking my own life #laylit18
If an atheist is deemed a hypocrite for saying “god would want someone to do something”, then isn’t Fiona a hypocrite being a judge pertaining to sensitive children matters when she doesn’t have children of her own? #laylit18
@litwithleena That’s a fair point. I think the book makes it really easy to hate either Jack or Fiona but at the end of the day, their divorce might be needed for mutual happiness to occur #laylit18
@litwithkale But do you think there’s a boundary between being a strong female protagonist and being void of all emotions? Even if her husband was terrible towards the end of their marriage, I feel like people would need time to cope #Laylit18
@EmilyJolly_lit I think it’s because once you finally say something out loud, it makes you believe your problems are “real”. You can no longer squish them into an imaginary box in the back of your head #laylit18
@LokrageMachine I don’t know if you’d call his speech meaningful but it gets right to he point. Some people find that refreshing in a way, whereas others find it rude. I don’t think it’s something that’s objective, it depends on how attached or detached someone is to our societal norms #laylit18
@KritIsLit True. We may believe that the premise of The Truman Show is a colossal infringement of human rights but to that society, it could be normalized. #laylit18
@ppolaccofanclub @EshaanSoman Yeah I think our society labels Meursault’s actions as “wrong” simply because we weren’t founded upon these principles. #laylit18
@ppolaccofanclub@nikihkmr Also, maybe he feels guilty for not being there for her in her final year. Perhaps being detached is his way of saying it’s okay to not show his emotions as much #laylit18
It’s weird how even for Marie (who seems to have the greatest emotional impact on Meursault so far), he only describes their physical activities, and not their connection on an emotional level #laylit18
There’s a stereotype of guys not having emotions and being like “I don’t care about anything” all the time. Meursaults initial reaction to his mother’s death made me think if he truly cares for her or not #laylit18
