For the people asking: I know this looks edited but it really isn’t

this is dumb
#so did they miss the part where gatsby ends up floating dead in a pool and all the miserable deaths in wuthering heights#or did they miss that because there weren’t any chapters titled In Which The Sinners Are Punished For Their Errors#like. even if you require explicit moral instruction from literature it’s pretty hard to miss the comeuppance in those.
“What I assume my teachers were trying to teach me”
Huck Finn is about a white Southern boy who was raised to believe that freeing slaves is a sin that would send you directly to hell who forges a familial bond with a runaway slave and chooses to free him and thereby in his mind lose his salvation because he refuses to believe that his best friend and surrogate father is less of a man just because he’s black. Yes it features what we now consider racial slurs but this is a book written only 20 years after people were literally fighting to be allowed to keep other human beings as property, we cannot expect people from the 1880s to exactly conform with the social mores of 2020, and more to the point if we ourselves had been raised during that time period there’s very little doubt that we would also hold most if not all of the prevalent views of the time because actual history isn’t like period novels written now where the heroes are perfect 21st century social justice crusaders and the villains are all as racist and sexist as humanly possible. Change happens slowly and ignoring the radical statement that we’re all human beings that Twain wrote at a time when segregation and racial tensions were still hugely prevalent just because he wrote using the language of his time period is short-sighted and foolhardy to the highest degree.
I’m really kind of alarmed at the rise in the past few years of the “and we do condemn! wholeheartedly!” discourse around historical figures. it seems like people have somehow boomeranged between “morals were different in the past, therefore nobody in the past can ever be held accountable for ANY wrongs” to “morals are universal and timeless, and anything done wrong by today’s standards in the past is ABSOLUTELY unforgiveable” so completely, because social media 2.0 is profoundly allergic to nuance
please try this on for size:
there have always been, in past times as today, a range of people in every society, some of whom were even then fighting for a more just and compassionate accord with their fellow man and some of whom let their greeds and hatreds rule them to the worst allowable excesses. the goal of classics and history education is to teach you enough context to discern between the two, not only in the past but in the present
My mind just boggles at the “There’s Racism In That Book” argument. Yes, there is racism in that book, because that book is ABOUT RACISM. The message is that it is BAD.
My high school English teacher, who was a viciously brilliant woman, used to say that when people banned Huck Finn they said it was about the language, but it was really the message they were trying to ban, the subversive deconstruction of (religious) authority and white supremacy.
Huckleberry Finn can actually be seen as a powerful case study in trying to do social justice when you have absolutely no tools for it, right down to vocabulary. And in that respect, it’s a heroic tale, because Huck—with absolutely no good examples besides Jim, who he has been taught to see as subhuman, with no guidance, with everyone telling him that doing the right thing will literally damn him, with a vocabulary that’s full of hate speech—he turns around and says, “I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to participate in this system. If that means I go to Hell, so be it. Going to Hell now.”
(I used to read a blogger who insisted that “All right, I’ll go to Hell,” from Huckleberry Finn is the most pure and perfect prayer in the canon of American literature. Meaning, as I understand it, that the decision to do the right thing in the face of eternal damnation is the most holy decision one can make, and if God Himself is not proud of the poor mixed-up kid, then God Himself is not worth much more than a “Get thee behind me,” and the rest of us should be lining up to go to Hell too. Worth noting that this person identified as an evangelical Christian, not because he was in line with what current American evangelicals believe, but because “they can change their name, I’m not changing mine.” Interesting guy. Sorry for the long parenthetical.)
Anyway, the point of Huck Finn, as far as I can tell, is that you can still choose to do good in utter darkness, with no guidance and no help and none of the right words.
And when you put it like that, it’s no wonder that a lot of people on Tumblr—people who prioritize words over every other form of social justice—find it threatening and hard to comprehend.
Also worth noting is that the N-word was considered gross even at the time Huck Finn was written. The polite word was “Negro.” So part of the satirical content of the book was that you had characters like Huck who used the N-word because they were, as Huck puts it, poor and ignorant. But then you had characters like Aunt Polly and the widow, people who are held up as good Christians and upstanding people….also using that language, basically saying “they’re no better than Huck and haven’t even got being poor and ignorant as an excuse.” Mark Twain knew it was an ugly word. THAT WAS THE POINT.
What are your honest opinions on all five kids from CatCF?
Charlie: Good kid, I hold him no ill will, but dang is he vanilla and boring. Which was the point - it takes a vanilla person who plays by the rules to make his way through the trickster-fae-level gauntlet Wonka has set up to make sure people take the job seriously - but geez, I feel no actual attachment to him.
Augustus: Poor little meow meow. Also a savage snark. I want to buy him ice cream.
Violet: BEST KIDDO. Little girlboss in the making. I've seen the discourse on how the 80s version should've inherited the factory, and you know what I'mma say that's universal, gum is adjacent to candy and Vi knows gum. This doesn't mean she's a nice person, though. Which is exactly why I like her.
Veruca: Yzma energy, absolute Yzma energy. I love snotty diva characters so much.
Mike: You know those characters who are designed to be hateable but in the most fun way possible? There's almost nothing redeeming about Mike whatsoever and I love that about him. Little headstrong brat.
I will adopt them all (or get them crossover parents) except for Charlie who is good because he is now a billionaire
Thing is, I'm not mad at Charlie (except for how boring he is), and I'm not even that mad at Wonka (I really just...consider him a trickster fae archetype, and one must be careful in one's dealings with the fae) but I like angry, jaded, petty characters and so I will ABSOLUTELY support Augustus, Violet, Veruca, and Mike embarking on an EPIC REVENGE QUEST to bring down the chocolate factory system
So yeah, I kinda don't subscribe to "they did nothing wrong" because of my particular flavor of character enjoyment but I'm also all about said angry, jaded, petty characters finding friendships and getting satisfying lives regardless, so they're my kiddos
I forgot what was the bad thing that Violet did
She was presented as a little brat in general because she kept chewing gum when others were trying to get her attention and tell her it was rude to do so (think like how students always chew gum in class despite being told not to by teachers), and each new adaptation of her gives her a sharper tongue (which I love). But the thing that got her rejected from the factory tour was that Wonka told her not to chew a prototype gum that was still in development and she decided to chew it anyway. It’s also kinda implied that Wonka thought gum was inferior to candy and really didn’t like making it, so he was a grump about Violet finding the gum more interesting than the rest of the operation, and that might’ve led to him not exactly explaining the WHOLE truth about why not to eat the gum that turned her into a blueberry.
