Blehx.. I don’t know wat to write again, haha. The only thing that I have been seriously doing this hols is reading and indulging myself in tv. Hahas. Oh, aniwae, after reading a few classics this hols, I realised that most of the characters behave and speak so exaggeratedly..diao. although I love their era, but I cannot bring myself to like the way they treat each other and speak with each other. There are too much wat they will call, 'civilities' and it gets too formal and seriously too fake. I mean, juz get rid of all the civilities and come straight to the point! That is why I get so irritated while reading pride and prejudice.. I hate Mr Collins for being so irrating and self-righteous and keeps on apologising for nothing, I dislike the three youngest bennet sisters for their frivolity and stupidity, I even got so irritated with Elizabeth for her prejudice against Darcy and Jane for her all-rounded goodness. I think the only person that I ever liked is Mr Bennet, haha. Oh, and I realise most of the main guys in the classics will get into wat they will call a 'passion' at some point or another. Haha, especially Mr Rochester, its kind of fun and scary at the same time to see him so 'passionate' in his speech. Sometimes it gets violent too, but I get so excited when it gets violent, haha. Heathcliff is Dark and scary, seriously, but at the beginning, it was this darkness that drew me to him, just that I dun really like him after Catherine died. I love Edmond Dante of all in the count of monte cristo! Wat a nice name, dante.. he is full of vengeance when he realised that he was tricked and lost everything in one night, and it was not only this vengeance that attracted me to him but also his really powerful command of speech and the way he carried out his revenge. Of course, in the end, he decided to forgive and he has in more than one way showed that he is a true gentleman. He is quite melancholic too, im still trying to figure out the significance of he disguising himself as a priest. Ok, those who have not read the books will have absolutely no idea of wat im talking about, but it juz that I can't contain myself, all the characters have their own special and unique personality, haha. Classics are worth reading much more than all the trashy kind of novels nowadays, I love the olden days writers!
