So I read half this book in summer 2020 when I kinda just got exhausted with a bunch of bullshit that was going on at the time, but my partner was an english student and we would talk about it a lot and the mantra "Fear no more the heat o' the sun, nor the furious winter's rages" became a mantra for our own constant suicidal ideation. We said it so much that our housemate (my now bf) made us a cross-stitch plaque of it, which we've hung up by the door in our new place. I explained how it's sort of an epithet for suicide to my mom when she visited and she said that was horrible. Idk; it makes me feel better about leaving the house on bad days. I guess this isn't really a review of the novel. Here you go: it's perfect.
