No. Listen to what he says following:

>'Listen. The more men you've had, the more I love you. Do you understand that?'

>'I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.'

Seems pretty much a cuckold to me.

>>8243494

Also how does he compare to Hölderlin?

/lit/ Germans help me out

>>8243403
I've only read Deutschland: Ein Wintermärchen, which I enjoyed a lot.
I should probably read more at some point.

German here, Heine is my personal favorite. He's witty and funny but can be pretty romantic as well, but not in a faggy way. Hoelderlin is a whole different thing but I like him for his romanticism. My favorite poem would be "Der Mensch", I listen to it all the time when I'm in the metro or bus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSvYdmePEJA

>why did Beowulf only bring Grendel's head back?

The head would have been very heavy I suppose, I'm not sure he would have been able to carry two troll heads at the same time as his armour and weapons

>>8243334
Both. In the mind of the author of Beowulf, all trolls, demons, etc. arose from Cain's blood.

>>8243827
Doesn't Beowulf reach Grendel's Mother's grotto by swimming underneath a pitch black pond teeming with vicious sea creatures? That could make head carrying pretty difficult.

reading books=/=reading literature

someone would have to be pretty retarded to think there was an actual effect there, and not just a weak correlation.

>>8243330
The people who read YA obsessively are the same people who think that Bill Nye is actually a credible source on science issues and will actually cite his opinions as if they are truth despite the fact that he just has a BA in some engineering field. Stupid people are always going to be stupid so we need to make sure they have some outlet for their stupidity that shunts them away from real literature, real science, basically anything intellectual. Just gives them those little feelings of superiority that keep them going during their daily drudge as a wagecuck.

I don't think linking to an article as a start to a thread will lead to an abundance of replies. Just guessing.

I'll just assume he did it with all the subtlety and inspiration he deployed in that daring Hitler parody story of his and pass, thanks all the same

I found it interesting, though I'm not American so I can't really vouch for its accuracy.
Seems to get at the heart of the violence surrounding the "trump movement", particularly the way that it's been answered by liberal protesters.

I don't get the concept. Since you read the book, can you sum it up for me?
