/lit/ - Literature

It's very simple, force high-effort posts and recieve high-effort posters. Ban and delete any of the following on sight and you'll get a slower and higher-quality board:
>Any post with a wojak/pepe
>Any post about politics
>Any post about race
>Any post about culture wars
>Any post where the OP uses the following "LE X is BAD/GOOD", "What did I/You think of X", "Who was in the wrong here?" "Now that the dust has settled...",
>Any post about e-celebs
>Any self-promotion outside of /WG/ because fuck Card, Gardner and Ma
>Any post on /WG/ that amounts to "Nobody will make it", "You are shit" and other crab bullshit because it's gotten to the point some threads don't have anything posted because of those faggots
>A general for "showing off": book editions, shelf threads etc.

>Your motivation on writing
Sally Rooney being lauded as some sort of genius voice of a generation and shitting upon all the great authors Ireland has had inspires me to wipe her out and her dogshit writing.
>Your favorite books this year
Hamlet, Gladstone vs Disraeli, Napoleon the Great
>Your favorite drink while reading a book.
Tea, two sugars

I've literally just written an essay on how he shows Catholic sympathies. Literally everything that goes wrong in Hamlet stems from Protestant beliefs. I still don't know how the fuck he got away with showing purgatory in such a blatant fashion. Think about it.
>Claudius doing the most insincere confession ever without a priest present. Literally goes "Sorry but I want all the good stuff I got"
>Hamlet refuses to kill him as he prays because "he'll go straight to heaven" and purgatory isn't even mentioned
>Hamlet then goes on to kill Polonius and this starts the tragedy
>Hamlet's father talking about Gertrude being a corrupted Queen.
It's fucking blatant.
