What is the most "iconic" scene in literature? The

>>8767343
The blackened tortilla soaking up the last of the soup.

The crucifixion of Christ is the most important scene for sure. Culturally and spiritually.

>>8767348
>>8767355
Besides this.

>>8767358
The Garden of Eden.

>>8767392

>>8767401
Pinocchio killing the talking cricket.

>>8767445
That's from history, not from literature.

>lol 9/11 guys

>>8767355
>spiritually

So much hokum.

>>8767343
That's not even the most iconic Shakespeare scene. I would put Hamlet and Yorick's skull or Lear in the storm above that.

>>8767452

There is nothing edgy about it.

>>8767460
Neither of those are known to people who don't read. The phrase "To be or not to be" is, but most people couldn't tell you where it came from, only that it was Shakespeare. King Lear is not nearly as widely known as you'd expect.

When Holden rapes his sister Phoebe

>>8767797
I knew I'd see this here fucking hell

>>8767343

Wouldn't the balcony scene be more iconic? I mean I'd bet more people could quote at least part of that whereas the suicide...you'd get nothing

Achilles chasing Hector.
"But soft"
"The Horror, The Horror"

>not Caesar's murder scene
>not the Balcony Scene
I do have to agree with Hamlet and Yorick's skull however.

Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet are probably the most well known Shakespearean plays, normies would definitely know atleast what you're referring to, even though they've probably never read it.

>>8767343
When Odysseus reveals himself to the suitors. Whooo, boy. I was like: Let the bodies hit the flo'. You could even say it was epic.

Pick a Fairy Tail that has been made into a Disney movie.

There you go, the most iconic scene in literature is the most iconic scene from one of those movies thats actually somewhat true to the original "story".

>>8767418
The Nativity is definitely the most iconic. We have a month of obsession with that scene basically everywhere in the Western world.

>>8767343
Oedipus blinding himself
Hamlet's "to be or not to be"
Gretchen's "wie hast du's mit der Religion" in Faust

>>8767343
Hamlet holding the skull and saying "To be or not to be"

>>8767904
balcony scene in R&J

the beginning of my diary desu

>>8767789
It still amazes me how famous the part with the windmills is although it takes up only about 2 pages.

I guess the most iconic thing would be something that was taken up by pop culture like Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, etc.

>>8767343
The balcony scene in My Twisted World.

If the bible counts Christ being cruxified.
If not? The Trojan horse.
