Can we not do this /tv/ shit, please?

It's very good. Now go to YouTube and watch the Russian television version of it. Margarita has a hot body.

>thinking other people need to tell you how you interpret a book

>thinking your born with the ability to interpret a book written in a language you weren't born with the ability to understand

Anyone seen this? I think you'll like :)

I don't trust my own interpretation of literature. In fact, I just read a book in which one of the main characters kills himself, and it took me until reading an essay on the novel to realize he did it by drowning.

Nothing wrong with needing others to show you how and what to think about a thing. It's greater perspective.

Good stuff

You can at least say if you liked it or not and then ask for opinions.

>taking my words out of context

You skipped over the basic point and filled in your own. You don't need to read a book you don't understand to read another work by someone who either wanted to understand it or did understand it. Or, in my intention to say, you read some other person's post on Veeky Forums. What I'm saying is don't get caught up in this loop of needing to understand complicated imagery and metaphors to come to something you'd realize on your own if you hung around good people and made an effort in your life. What insight did you gain from reading of that suicide that you probably already didn't somewhat agree or disagree with? All I'm saying is there are other simpler arts to appreciate immediately than to dig in for the truths and answers. And if you aren't willing to do that digging on your own, then you aren't doing it for yourself. You're forcing it, and suffering to fit into this mold you've given yourself that you don't even belong in. If you wanted to know what it really meant to say, you'd go study the language, study the mechanics of writing and the authors method of writing, you'd put all the pieces of the puzzle together yourself to stare at what you were supposed to see, not what someone else got from it. You're skirting your passions onto others and speeding yourself through your life because of it.

There's my rant of the day, I'm getting lunch then getting drunk.

>to come to something you'd realize on your own if you hung around good people and made an effort in your life
So when literary critics disagree it's because at least one of them didn't hang around good people and made an effort in their life?

You're arguing in favor of my point with your example and you don't even realize it.

No I'm not and you're avoiding my question.

There are only literary critiques because they looked for the meaning themselves.
>you'd put all the pieces of the puzzle together yourself to stare at what you were supposed to see
Does not imply that it will always be the same thing seen.

Oh, so you actually think that your own opinions are correct on the virtue of being your own. Sad.

You're now detracting from the point.

What did he mean by this?

Oh, so you actually believe your opinions are correct based upon the virtue of some grander scheme. Sad.

How did you even make that inference.

>Pontius Pilate literally did nothing wrong

Holy shit you are actually just clueless.
