>quoting authors on something their fictional characters said
what a fucking loser lmao
What's wrong with that?
>>24840157>Brevity is the soul of witThat's the big one. Character that says it is a fool and blowhard
>>24840157Obligatory
>>24840157It's a fine line. A lot of authors speak through their characters and use them as self-inserts. It takes a good reader to tell if the author believes what the character is saying or not. Sometimes a character will say a bunch of bullshit and then, on a random page, they'll say something that rings true and you'll get the sense that the author is speaking through that character.
>>24840185lmao
>>24840351it has a tendency to be misused (e.g. thinking that nabokov is a pedo because of lolita)
>>24840157That Shakespeare one about more things in heaven and earth may be the greatest example.
>>24840157haha OP I love froggo XD
