I read Circe by Madeline Millers, and I did enjoy it, but I think she missed the opportunity to incorporate some female rage. Circe, who is very dear to my heart and one of my favorite Greek myths, had a shit life and got into shit situations. Like, it sucked. I think that warrants her to go absolutely APESHIT. I. Want. Female. RAGE. I want more blood, more screaming and yelling bc shit suck man. For most of her life, everything sucked. I WANT HER tO RAIN FIREBALLS UPON HER ENEMIES (so to speak), and like idk.
Greek myths themselves are stories (and relatively made up), and so building upon them and creating new narratives should be welcomed. So PLEASEEE feed me bloodlust anti-man world ending Circe 🫶 no more seductress (not that it was a relevant trope in the book, but some other interpretations have it) no more odyssey-hungry nymph (calypso can handle that on her own), GIVE ME POWERFUL AND MAD WOMAAAAANNNN.
that’s all I ask
