Why did Iago do it?
Othello promoted someone ahead of him, and he also suspected him of having slept with his wife.
The idea that Iago's motives are mysterious, that he seemingly does it all "for no reason" is a weird myth. Iago straight up says why he hates Othello.
I've posted this before and somebody replied that, well, how can we *believe* Iago, you know, because he's so deceptive? This is a needless complication that muddles things without explaining anything.
>>8219021
tl;dr: Iago did it for the kek's and memes.
>>8219021
Pretty much this.
Also, 'Othello' was not written as tragedy in the traditional sense; Iago is actually the hero in it.
What other stories have a comparable character to Tom Bombadil?

jajaja eso
hey /lit/ no memeing here, I'm genuinely curious as to what is your favorite Thomas Pynchon book? I myself find V and Inherent Vice the most enjoyable/rewarding
>>8218867
Only ever read Lot49 and V.
That being said V. is superior.

None.
It's been awhile, /lit/. I haven't been here in a good while. Is there a recommended set of pic related? I want the Penguin Classics set in paperback, but can only find 1-3. Help me out.
>dad gave me his copy of D&F
>inherited my grandfather's copy of D&F

I also got my grandfather's Durant
>>8218791
Do you have an entire set? Or a collection all in one book? Or the abridged version?
>>8218784
Fuck the Romans
two questions of DUNE
how does Leto breed against prescience? this makes no sense?
and, why can't' Paul tell the fremen to stop jihad? they worship him.
Your English is terrible.
Leave. Come back, maybe, if you improve your grammar.
>>8218869fuck you!!!
>>8218771
The Jihad was ment to consume the universe, like Paul was never a God, but he was far more than a man. He was something no one ever planned, a monster. Fyde (Fade?) Also had the same genetic potential to become what Paul became but his life of privilege stunted his development
Writers of /lit/, have you grasped the power of iambs yet?
Have you learned to hear the bob and weave of English? Melville got it right. So did Faulkner. Have you?
Faulker was a manlet.
Yes, but my vocabulary is ridiculously small, because English is my second language.
I've fully absorbed the power of the decassÃlabo heróico, though.
>>8218734
Thanks for informing me. I will disregard him from now on.

how does it feeling knowing even he is much more successful, well-known, loved, and respected than you?
>implying I have feelings
Loud laughter
He's basically fake-woke annoying ass Voxsplainer for little kids and probably got people to raise money for my disease even though he's a shitty writer. The point is that I have bigger problems to worry about that this insufferable memer.
>>8218709
I'm jelly of his money

humans BTFO.
When will you stop it with this LE SINGULARITY OMG XDDDDD meme? Robots are good at this because they absorbed a shitload of human content and then imitated it like the dumb fucks they are.
AI is nowhere as advanced as you redditfucks seem to think it is.
>>8218708
Last stanza is pretty neat.
>>>8218716
No need to get so upset because an AI can write better poetry than you.
i like joanna newsom's lyrics. what are some poets i might enjoy reading?
some bullshit that john ''i browse tumblr daily'' greene would like, probably.
I want to fuck this woman.
>>8218647

What do you listen to while reading?

>>8218486
First post best post.

How can i read faster?
>>8218435
Just skip every third or fourth word
And if you feel the paragraph offers you nothing, move on.
>>8218435
by posting better meme pics in the threads that you start
>>8218435
Read more, eat ass, stop subvocalizing
So basically you're telling me that Sol was sitting there the entire time, cradling his infant daughter in his arms, while listening to a 2 meter tall muslim man talk about how he thrust his giant turkroach cock in and out of said daughter while sucking on her erect nipples?
Shut the fuck up OP you faggot.
You're on 4chan, take your ethics some place where someone cares.
>>8218429
Yep!

What method does /lit/ prefer to read?
im curious
https://strawpoll.de/3773748
Books for reading at home. Ebooks for travel
i prefer physical books, but started reading on my phone lately. its nice having it at my fingertips all the time.
havent tried kindle/ereaders
anyone able to give good pros to using one? kinda want one but need to justify it
>>8218340
Kindle. The on-hand dictionary and x-ray features have spoiled me. We aren't more books available on it? I'm reading The Tin Drum now, and the other two Danzig trilogy books aren't available in English on it, only German. Same goes for most non-fiction books I want to read.
This guy's a fucking cultist.
Why did you post a picture of a book?
King James is?
>>8218374
I meant Jesus.
