If Madame Bovary were published today, how do you think the reaction would be?

The world would be completely different if that hadn't already been published.

What he says here is illogical, so he's a hack writer and what he says doesn't matter.

I don't think Bateman could be considered a mascot championed by 4chan for ideological reasons. It's true that 4chan is significantly reactionary but I'm pretty sure Bateman's just used for the dubs meme.

Also why does he say "filmic" instead of just "film"?

This is badly explained. First of all, hardly half of 4chan users that use the Bateman image have ever read or watched American Psycho.

Second, because a work is misunderstood between high-schoolers does not mean it is failed as critique of something. It means it was excitable teenagers who watched it, jesus.

American Psycho (film) to me doesn't really come off as feminist critique unless specifically pointed out as such. It seems like just social critique.

I read that partially long time ago. Wasn't it about the struggle a woman has in marriage?

But Madame Bovary's point was exactly that art does not represent life and you shouldn't mix up those two, otherwise you end up doing retarded shit like Madame Bovary was doing

In /lit/ class there were these two chicks who only read YA books and they said they didn't like Madame Bovary because she wasn't a strong female character like the Hunger Games girl.
