A review by stevieewhite
Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence

1.0

resurrecting this goodreads account just to say that this is PERHAPS the epitome of pretentious literary 'classics', am meant to read this for a seminar, and am quitting halfway through a chapter. 270 pages in and if i listen to another one of these v v unlikeable characters chat shit for 5 pages about how they hate humanity or something I may quit my degree. For context, one of the main characters is based on the author himself and mirrors his views, which are retrospectively pretentious and maudlin and are the makings of a very successful tumblr account among emo tweens. Ironically, this boy chats pure shite about how boring the world is whilst being trapped in maybe the most boring novel I've read all year, and there's also a weird bit in this where this girl starts dancing around some cows in some sort of spiritual way. It's probably significant - something about cows. Are we all just cows? Or are we all just women dancing around aimlessly in a cow field? Or maybe we must make the connection between the cow and the woman, the human and the animal???????????? VERY insightful, thought-provoking stuff.

This novel is nearly 500 pages long in like a size 10 font :( also will probs delete this review soon but just thought I seemed cute in it :3
