angels in america is really excellent commentary on how women and queer people are oppressed through mormonism. the destructive force of joe’s need to prove his masculinity getting worse and worse until it erupts in his punch at louis. joe and harper’s respective performances of heteronormative couplehood, even to each other. down to the way harper desexualizes herself and her intimacy with joe—it’s the reason why her “look at me” scene is so impactful. almost every character in angels suffers due to abrahamic religion but with how americanized the gender roles in mormonism are specifically #imao it really speaks to the country as a whole

[peridrone]

godbless tony kushner and his gender commentary. not a single man in angels that isn’t dead gay or played by a woman.

RIP Joe (gay republican mormon) from angels in America you would’ve loved the line “I don’t want to be this type of animal anymore” and absolutely hated all the rest of disco elysium

elizabeth lavenza:

stood up in front of a corrupt court that condemned her innocent best friend and called them cowards while also defending that friend's innocence, even knowing and saying that it would be considered 'indecent' (volume 1, chapter 7)

goes on an entire rant about how unjust the death penalty is; one could say this is just the author's own beliefs being reflected in her work, which is true! but also doesn't negate that elizabeth was the character chosen to convey this opinion (volume 1, chapter 7)

is described to continuously self sacrifice for the sake of others without complaint, but also shows some resentment for this role she plays when she laments being unable to join victor across europe (volume 1, chapter 2 and volume 3, chapter 1)

is an artist and a writer (volume 1, chapter 1)

is emotional, imaginative, lively, and active (volume 1, chapter 1)

her passive aggressive tone in her letter to victor about justine and how he probably doesnt remember her, the girl who lived with them for five whole years (volume 1, chapter 5)

after justine's wrongful conviction and execution she becomes much more pessimistic and laments about the unfairness of the world and that "men appear to [her] as monsters thirsting for each others blood" (volume 2, chapter 1)

yet because the 1831 revision of the novel removed or changed so much of this people -- movie writers, musical writers, fans, etc! -- act like she is and always has been a nothing character, instead of thinking critically about why mary shelley would revise her novel with her very radical for the time she lived in opinions during a time of financial stress.
