There is a girl in my year that I strongly dislike (the same person who said that Ian McEwan was a sex addict) who just described Plath like ‘well, sylvia plath innit, so basically some crazy woman…’ and made lots of callous remarks about her mental state.
I don’t understand why she’s taking English if she cannot at least appreciate brilliant authors, even if she doesn’t necessarily like their writing - because she essentially just throws away any of their merits to label them as things like ‘sex-fiends’ and ‘mental’ as she cannot be bothered to explore their work and character.
Charming, charming girl.
