What is the most "iconic" scene in literature? The suicide of Romeo and Juliet?

The Crucifiction of Jésus Alejandro Christos from the Bible

The blackened tortilla soaking up the last of the soup.

The crucifixion of Christ is the most important scene for sure. Culturally and spiritually.

Besides this.

The Garden of Eden.

Look nigger fuck off nothing from religious texts ok?

*tips fedora* xD

Noah's Ark

Exodus? :)

Moses splitting the red sea

The birth of Jesus with the 3 cucks coming by

Pinocchio killing the talking cricket.

the trojans springing from the horse you idiots

That's from history, not from literature.

>lol 9/11 guys

>spiritually

So much hokum.

Literally never heard of it

The Cyclops being cuck'd by Odysseus

That's not even the most iconic Shakespeare scene. I would put Hamlet and Yorick's skull or Lear in the storm above that.

the aeneid is literature. go back to r/books you fag

>I would put Hamlet and Yorick's skull or Lear in the storm above that.

There is nothing edgy about it.

Neither of those are known to people who don't read. The phrase "To be or not to be" is, but most people couldn't tell you where it came from, only that it was Shakespeare. King Lear is not nearly as widely known as you'd expect.

...

When Holden rapes his sister Phoebe

I knew I'd see this here fucking hell

Wouldn't the balcony scene be more iconic? I mean I'd bet more people could quote at least part of that whereas the suicide...you'd get nothing

Achilles chasing Hector.
"But soft"
"The Horror, The Horror"

>"But soft"
?

i stand correcterd

>not Caesar's murder scene
>not the Balcony Scene
I do have to agree with Hamlet and Yorick's skull however.

Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet are probably the most well known Shakespearean plays, normies would definitely know atleast what you're referring to, even though they've probably never read it.

When Odysseus reveals himself to the suitors. Whooo, boy. I was like: Let the bodies hit the flo'. You could even say it was epic.

Pick a Fairy Tail that has been made into a Disney movie.

There you go, the most iconic scene in literature is the most iconic scene from one of those movies thats actually somewhat true to the original "story".

The Nativity is definitely the most iconic. We have a month of obsession with that scene basically everywhere in the Western world.

Oedipus blinding himself
Hamlet's "to be or not to be"
Gretchen's "wie hast du's mit der Religion" in Faust

Hamlet holding the skull and saying "To be or not to be"

...

>Neither of those are known to people who don't read

Go outside more re Yorick. Lear in the storm I agree

balcony scene in R&J

the beginning of my diary desu

It still amazes me how famous the part with the windmills is although it takes up only about 2 pages.

I guess the most iconic thing would be something that was taken up by pop culture like Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, etc.

The balcony scene in My Twisted World.

If the bible counts Christ being cruxified.
If not? The Trojan horse.

"You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you"

probably

Oh James you dog.

The angels playing snooker in Jerusalem
