Derek Jarman, The Spirit of the World, 1981
what do you mean it wasn’t a romcom
"You were afraid if you took it off you might feel how much he still loved you"
please look at this graffiti my sister saw in paris
Interpreting Marius from an historical angle with consideration of the values of ancient Rome and Renaissance Italy is valid.
Interpreting Marius from the angle of the author’s intentions and statements about him is valid.
Interpreting Marius from the angle of gothic romance/gothic horror is valid.
Interpreting Marius from the angle of 21st century values and modern social politics is valid (and can be very interesting!).
Preferring one or several of these interpretations to others is valid.
Behaving like having/preferring a certain interpretation of a literary character is morally superior or morally reprehensible is, actually, a bit of a dick move.
And also, sorry to say this, but… the interpretation of a person who has read all available canon material about a character, will always be more valid than that of people who have not. If you want to discuss the books, you have to actually read them. And yes, of course this takes time, but it’s not hard to contextualize interpretations and statements with a sentence like “I have only read books x and y at this point" or even to say "I don't feel like I know enough to give a balanced interpretation on this yet."
