Jane Eyre,Wuthering HeightsAs far as I felt when I was in elementary school, the main characters of Wuthering Heights looked selfish and mentally weird.That's why I like Jane Eyre more personally,But why are British novels always the stories of aristocrats?Is there a law where the writer is punished if the worker or the maid is the main character?
>>222897927The UK had a very strict class system. That's why what America did as a nation was so significant. We broke free. India has a similar caste system that traps people, and so do many third world nations like Brazil.
>>222900126> read "the great gatsby"> there's the same class system portrayed there
>>222900334Great incelsby is a played out criticism of a differently structured and less strict caste system
>>222900126>'I'm glad we live in an equitable land of liberty for all men' - Washington Adams Vanderbilt IV of Jefferson Plantation
>>222900334The moral of that novel is you shouldn't let women drive. There's some background story about new vs. old money, but it's largely there for comedic relief.
>>222897927> reads novel from a time when proletariat was still rural and illiterate> gets hurt and confused that it's mostly written from the perspective of literate peopleAnyway there's this really underground author called Charles Dickens you might like
>>222902670I'd say the moral is to never obsess about any particular woman
>>222897927code?
>>222897927>But why are British novels always the stories of aristocrats?>Is there a law where the writer is punished if the worker or the maid is the main character?UhhhRecommend some Korean novels with English translations
The English (i.e. those from the island of Great Britain) have never produced a novel of any merit whatsoever.>b-but muh [Dickens, Eliot, Austen, Brontes, Carlyle, etc...]!!!Hacks, all of them. They wrote of the trite and bloated affairs of the vacuous nobility stumbling around their contrived social norms. It is some of the dullest art ever produced by man.>you only hate the realists!!! what about their predecessors!!!Sterne and Swift were de facto Irish - every other Britisher (alleged or otherwise) with talent wrote (admittedly very good) poetry, drama, or philosophy.
>>222900126arent americans obsessed with aristocracy like washington was aristocrat and related to king o algo
>>222904145What art or media has Canada produced? I don't think I've seen much from you guys.I guess I like those sad songs about the cat by the Weakerthens
>>222904263We have produced roughly jack shit (but that does not abolish my argument)
>>222897927>But why are British novels always the stories of aristocrats?Because the class system pervades every aspect of life in the UK, nearly as much today as it did centuries ago. We're a class obsessed society.
>>222904471But if you're class obsessed you should want to look at every class, every angle between them etc. Like your art should be constantly filling and re-filling a 3x3 meme table of "how A sees B". And despite >>222904000 you didn't get there I think. Maybe looking at US media and its limited treatment of race could offer insight here
>>222904471UK media is less myopically focused on the wealthy than American desu. It's just that Amerisharts present wealth as an unquestioned default without need for titles. If Home Alone took place in Britain, Kevin would live in a terrace house with a purple sofa and pillows that say "love" and "family" on them.
>>222897927>But why are British novels always the stories of aristocrats?Not necessarily. The Canterbury Tales and Middlemarch for example.
>>222897927Jane Austen girls are always from middle class or working class families who get married or paired with aristocratic men like those Hallmark movies o algo.
>>222904145I get the distinct impression that you haven't read any of those authors, and in general are both poorly read and uninformed.>dickensOften wrote about the poor and middle class; in fact it's his claim to fame.>eliotHad a focus on the middle class.>the Brontë sistersDid, usually, write about the aristocracy, although in an established continental tradition that would eventually become shopgirl type schlocky romances in later centuries. Ironically, they have a far better claim to true Irishness (through their previously destitute father) than Swift or Sterne, both the direct descendants of Englishmen who moved to Ireland and broadly existed in an English expatriate/colonist society.>CarlyleFirstly Scottish, and secondly not a novelist. Did you take random names from a google search about popular historical British authors?
>>222897927try the travels of sir john mandeville
>>222897927Moids shouldn't be reading Jane EyreOnly foids can truly understand it deeply
>>222897927Female writers are bad.
>>222907095A true Chud should always be reading Nonfiction.
>>222904367Nah, wasn't refuting your post. Just wondering why we don't get exposed more to Canadian cultural stuff. I just have images of snow, lumberjacks, mounties, moose etc. Also Usanian celebs who were Canadian and moved to Hollywood and started pretending they were Usanian all along.But how could I forget, we read I Heard the Owl Call my Name for school. lmao @ beta male cuck Jim taking Gordons sloppy seconds by marrying a pregnant Keetah.
