SHAKESPEARE'S TRAGEDIES — reimagined penguin classics.

In the sequel trilogy Rey has clothes that make her blend in to her desert environment. In the force awakens trailer, she says "I'm no one" telling us she doesn't think she's anyone special and her clothing reflects that. She wears practical clothes that blend into her life. She doesn't expect to ever have an exciting life, and she wears the same clothes until the end of the movie. After she discovers her force powers, she changes to a resistance outfit, reflecting her belonging with them now, but there is still elements of her old outfit, like the arm bands and her hair in 3 buns. Her resistance ourfit with elements of her original outfit could symbolize her feelings of not being worth much. In the Force awakens, when she touches the lightsaber and has the vision, we see her as a child, with 3 buns in her hair. She keeps the buns in her hair for 15 years so her parents will recognize her when they come back for her one day. Only after Kylo Ren tells her through their force bond that her greatest weakness is her needing her parents, her hair changes. She seems to be coming around to the idea that she will not have her parents back with her ever again, she needs to find a new family. P.s you can check out my blog at hannahlsw.blogspot.com

“What is writing but the preservation of ghosts?”

- Dark Academia Aesthetic

Virginia Woolf's suicide letter to her husband Leonard :

Dearest,

I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can’t fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can’t even write this properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that — everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer.

I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been.

never let me go

I love light academia because it's such a twist on reality. It's like living like everyone else lives but in a more exciting way. You care about details, you perform mundane tasks with such passion, you read books like there's no Tomorrow. It's almost as if there's this imaginary parallel universe that you're transported to once you're into the light academia Aesthetics.
