I'd say yes, but I don't really believe in the pleb / patrician duality so I'll just say that he's cutting himself out of a lot of what life could offer and he's renouncing endless possibilities to create meaning.

NOT LITERATURE? NOT LIT

I think these days people have better access to the arts and anyone interested in one of the arts is generally interested in others too.

However of course people studying literature in 1940 wouldn't have seen Film as anything worth their time and probably didn't have much access/knowledge to music. Same with the other visual arts.

So no it doesn't matter, literature is literature, it's just kind of expected in the internet age.

I have a feeling you're just some /mu/ fag looking for validation that his faggy indie pop is as artistically important as classic literature though and in that case you're dead wrong.

We Renaissance men now

>If someone is just interested in literature but doesn't care about music or film or any other art form for that matter, is that person a pleb?

You mean like Nabokov? No. Being a patrician requires passion and proper sensibility, not breadth.
