According to the Oxfrod English Dictionary, "seed" is a common synonym for semen, the by-product of male sexual activity. With that in mind, "feed and seed" takes on a new meaning; it's possible the word "feed" is used to refer to the oral insertion of one's penis - a "suck", in other words - with "seed" being the ejaculation following such an action. "Seed" as a verb can also refer to insemination, occuring after a genital sex act - in other words, a "fuck". Furthermore, we know that Sneed's Feed and Seed was once known as Chuck's Fuck and Suck - is it possible that the former business never truly closed, but simply rebranded itself with a cunning euphemism? In the Simpsons universe, the moniker "Sneed" stands out as unusual - other characters have conventional given names like "Bart", or even mildly unusal ones like "Milhouse", but "Sneed" is utterly unprecedented among real people. Have you ever met a "Sneed" in your day-to-day life? I thought not. CLEARLY, this name holds a deeper meaning - in fact, it's an acronym.

Observe:

Suck
Nuts
Every
Evening,
Dear.

The "farmers" Homer encounters are in reality bouncers for a secret brothel.

EMPRAH I AM BURNING

I'm redpilled, and hence virtuous. I suggest you stop with your degenerate lifestyle and start leading a life revolving around God, a love of your race and nation, masculinity, and Lord Kek

It's subjective and so ephemeral you can't really describe it in a one size fits all way. Sure you can use shit like "your body feels wonderfully light" and all that jackassery but it is just something you gotta experience or some shit i guess i don't know dude

1. There is a ASoIaF thread at the very top of the catalog. Why make a new one?
2. We have a thread asking if this series is any good literally EVERY DAY. Stop it.

Depends on what version of them you read. She also had an understandable rage towards Agamemnon too.

>the role model to follow in order to not end up like Madame Bovary
? He's not that deeply portrayed, no, I wouldn't see him as a role model. He's just a brief voice of reason, a sort of demigod who enters the story and leaves just as quickly. The reason I don't think he's a role model is because a.) Flaubert isn't telling an animal story for children, the novel is more nuanced than that, and b.) we don't even get to know much about Lariviere besides that he's a great, unhistrionic, and very respectable guy and he's by no means a major character, so how can we emulate him?

Maybe less of a role model and more of a 'way out' Emma's fate. I mean Emma is trapped, she doesn't like Charles and she has 'higher' yearnings. Obviously Flaubert mocks those but if you go the other way you get Charles' way of a life, which can't be the one Flaubert agrees with since, you know, he's a writer, an 'artist', not a countryside physician. So the solution cannot reside in simply suppressing these yearnings, and ultimately discarding them. You could say she fucked up with Lheureux but had she not she still would've cucked Charles and thrown away by Rodolphe.

Then comes Larivière who's venerated by his students, sharp, generous with the poor, friendly. and most importantly he scorns decorations and 'practices virtue without believing in it'. Those few things ARE Lariviere, we know nothing else about him, not his looks, not his family situation, etc. His position as chief surgeon is only a reason for him to intervene. The only other scene in which he is involved gives us absolutely no information about him, which is remarkable since in the conversation he has with Homais what he says or how he reacts to Homais' ramblings is weirdly, simply not written down.

the symbolism is then obvious: 'he', that is his behavior, arrived too late in Emma's life

and thus his unimportance, plot-wise and in 'screen time', is actually a testament to the fact that he is a message in the form of a character. Indeed when you know only those exact things about him and nothing else, not the color of his eyes or his taste in food (Flaubert doesn't say if he's disgusted by Homais' gross cuisine or not -- he says nothing), there remains no ambiguity about the message to be delivered
