>We’ve been doing it since the Iliad or Odyssey

>We

Don't flatter yourself lol you have done nothing to advance literary culture, do not include yourself with 'we' when you are just a dumb faggot on 4chan with stupid opinions.

Excuse me I think I am one of the pseuds you are referring and I'm not a pseud. I have read way more McCullers and I am more familiar with her writing and I am more qualified to talk about her than you so don't go talking down to me as if your smarter because you made a thread on /lit/.

And I remember your shit thread, you posted some shallow unoriginal take about McCullers being 'melodramatic' without substantiation, then you abandoned the thread and didn't engage in any of the discussion. The faggot I was arguing posted an equally useless take but it was also blatantly wrong so called him out on it. I don't remember you ever contributing any discussion at all in the thread or even attempting to expand on your boring shit take, so don't call me a pseud ever again you retarded faggot because I put more effort into your own thread than you did.

>Do you not understand that it was a single sentence summary of the main theme?

Yes and in that summary you called it simple you dumb faggot don't start telling lies when you just have to scroll up to see what you typed out.

>I never "talked down" to her

Yeah you did you retard, your tone was condescending and arrogant. Again all you have to do is scroll up so don't bother changing your words since you've been called out.

>So what you are saying is that you do not actually understand what a point of reference is or it's purpose.

It was completely out of place, unnecessary and not relevant. You're one of those faggots who reads Infinite Jest and brings it up at every possible opportunity and it is very cringe. There are so many authors who have written about struggling to communicate, you could have even used One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest as a 'point of reference' since it also has a deaf mute protagonist but you just HAD to drop in that you have read Infinite Jest. I really don't see why DFW is so important to bring up.

>I was saying is that DFW later explored the same themes as her, the main difference being that DFW explored cause, she explored effect. They both explored the same aspects of communication, not just communication itself.

omg he shits out another bad take! You think McCullers didn't explore cause? lol what book did you read? The entire character of Mick showed her going from a young optimistic young child to a bitter cynical adolescent as a result of the events in the novel. HER WHOLE CHARACTER SHOWED CAUSE. Every character had a fleshed out back story as to the reasons they struggled to communicate and found Singer so endearing.

And then saying DFW explored cause is even worse, I'm assuming you mean that he didn't explore effect then lol? I don't even know where to start with this one. Assuming you're talking about Infinite Jest I don't know how you boiled it down to 'the causes of struggling to communicate'. And don't back down on this one, I know you are going to come back and say 'uhhh thats not what I meant anon of course they both explored cause and effect' but no anon you just wrote that shit and pressed post.

>not just communication itself

This one is just wrong anon I don't know what to say.

Anon maybe you do read but I doubt you are reading properly if there are the opinions you have. Honestly this one is even more cringe than the proto DFW post, pleases leave the thread, you are embarrassing yourself.

Most people on reddit are shills paid by (((them))) to promote instability and miscegenation, it is in their interest to let those freaks run wild because as long as people are arguing on reddit they are not questioning real issues. The CIA are only incompetent in places they want to be, when it really counts, with stuff like UFO's, mind control (MK Ultra likely succeeded but they were incompetent in leaking its initial failure) and secret weapons, they are extremely secretive because those are the real thing they don't want you knowing.

And I suppose you're in that 1%?

Very gay bait thread. Women can absolutely write and if you can't acknowledge this you're an obtuse little faggot.

If this was a sincere question then you should read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers but judging by your post I doubt you actually read at all.
