WOMEN, NOT EVEN ONCE
--------------------------------------

>Antony & Cleopatra, Shakespeare
Queen says she will help you in battle with her kick-ass fleet. Runs away at critical moment. Battle is lost. Cries and says don't blame her, she's only a woman.

>Madame Bovary, Flaubert
Obviously.

>Middlemarch, George Eliot
Pretty woman marries you when you're starting out as an idealistic doctor. Soon turns out to be utterly childish and selfish, ruining your life.

>The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald
Woman drives much too fast despite being totally incompetent. Kills someone, leading to a chain of catastrophe. Doesn't care.

>Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare
Woman swears she will be eternally faithful to you despite you being separated by huge geopolitical forces. Isn't.

>A Good Man Is Hard To Find, O'Connor
Woman promises to direct you to an interesting house with hidden treasure. She forgot the house is actually in another state altogether.

>Hamlet, Shakespeare
Mother supposedly loved your father like anything. Marries your uncle about five minutes after your father dies.

Stoner
>marry the first woman that makes your peepee tingles
>she says yes so she can get away from home
>rape her (it's ok, I'm hubby)
>the unbalanced cow fucks my child up to punish me
>I allow this
>the bitch doesn't like me for some reason, it's ok, I'll cheat to no consequences
>Even though I've never taken responsibility for literally anything in my life, somehow I'm a victim of society
The lowest of self-inserts. Should have remained in the trash.

To be fair to Daisy in Gatsby it's almost straight up said in the novel that she's fucked up and doesn't care because she's rich and not because she's a woman. Tom is also a rich prick who doesn't give a fuck about what happens after Daisy rans that woman over

>> No.11226025

>>11226006

True, but Daisy has more capacity to disappoint than Tom, because no-one expects anything of Tom, but Daisy is an idealized object of longing because she's a pretty woman.
