Just finished reading this and I am mad. WHY THE FUCK DOES OAK MARRY THIS WHORE?
She deserved all the suffering, it was her own doing. the only reasonable action for Oak was to tell her to go fuck herself.
>They don't marry because she doesn't love him
>Then he is poor
>Yet she marries a soldier who is just as poor
>Disregards Boldwood after getting his hopes up more than once
>Goes back to Oak when she has no other options
Is Bathsheba the biggest cunt in all of literature?

Seriously, how do you Americans deal with such bad literature and try to make it pass as something different and edgy? It's just bad. The prose is horrible, the dialogue could be misplaced as being the product of a 15 year old high on weed.

So I've been analyzing /lit/ for quite sometime. Whatever you hacks write fits into one of these three categories.
> pretentious
You try too hard and use words you don't fully understand. Dictionary is your best friend, and that's not something to be proud of. You think you're deep and you think you've been influenced by some great authors and philosophers whom you've read thoroughly. You think you're a learned individual and have a formulated opinion, when in fact you're nothing but a thief.
> boring
You try to write in conversational style, stream your consciousness, and that just comes out boring. You write about shit nobody cares about, full of technical details or inside jokes. No emotion or passion. You have nothing to write about, because you haven't lived your life.
> amateur
You're just a talentless hack, writing at high school level. You're young and think you have some sort of innate talent that allows you to bypass years of honing your skill through hard work.
There's a forth category and that's where you write about relevant, complex ideas in an accessible language with a distinct voice and style, without paraphrasing the classics. None of you are capable of reaching this god-tier.
Tell me how I'm wrong.

so, if you were judging him, would you give him the sentencing he requested, or would you charge him on both counts? granted he used the manuscript as a defense
