things to bring back from the renaissance era: pearls in your hair, lots of braids, flowy dresses, rosy cheeks, that kind of dreamy/mystical look, humanism and good poetry

things to leave behind: fucking plucking your hairline to make your forehead look wider

Crimson Peak, and Edith herself, originate from books. Books, in particular, written by women. Young women. Girls, almost – girls like Edith. Mary Shelley, Ann Radcliffe, Daphne Du Maurier, and of course the Bronte sisters; Gothic romance has, since its conception, been the arena of female imagination. Of course men have written in the Gothic mode, but they tend to write a different type. In fact, scholars of the genre consider the line between Gothic romance and Gothic horror to be a gendered one. Where women tend to write stories of social oppression and interpersonal horror, men write ones where the supernatural is actually real, and actually the sinister force at work. There are many theories as to why this is the case. I favour a simple one: women have long had a great deal of very real things to fear; they do not need to make up ghosts and monsters to menace them.

In Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and elsewhere, one or more types of segregated schooling exists. Schools where Roma are the majority, or the only students, are branded as “Gypsy schools” or “ghetto schools” by non-Roma and are avoided because of the low standard of teaching and the poor material conditions. Although the gap in educational achievement between Roma and non-Roma is widely acknowledged by policy-makers and educationalists, government policies were not aimed, at least until recently, at desegregating Roma education as part of the ongoing reforms of the educational systems in the post-communist period. Policy interventions have been – and still are – dominated by the stereotype that Roma do not want to go to school, so that the fault for the disastrous educational levels prevailing among Roma appears to stem from their culture, and not from the educational system. Accordingly, programmes were aimed at keeping the children at school, rather than giving them the chance to go out of the ghetto schools and study in an integrated environment. For over a decade after the fall of communism, such policies did not result in any improvement of the educational status of Roma. On the contrary, their educational achievements deteriorated.

SHAKESPEARE MOODBOARDS:   juliet capulet.

she was naivety’s breath, a new beginning. the petals of white rose damned to never know the fruition of experience, or the responsibility of her name. she was radiant simpers, and moonlight escapes. she was the risk.
