![]() Even if he suspects there’s something wrong about him, he can’t stop being jealous. Nevertheless, by acting in this way, he’s losing and destroying himself.Īs everyone else, Little Chandler believes Gallaher’s trick. Gallaher’s trick works and everyone sees him as he wants to be seen. ![]() Maybe he hasn’t understood his wretchedness yet and he’s unconsciously living a big lie, or maybe he knows to be a loser and he’s just pretending to be someone else. He presents himself as an haughty, arrogant man who enjoys drinking and having fun, but this is not the real himself, it’s just a character he’s trying to create. ![]() He behaves like that to cover up all the mistakes he has made and his dissatisfaction. He shows off his “accomplishments” on purpose because he wants to underline his high social position, his important job and his richness. ![]() Gallaher pretends to be rich, powerful and happy, whereas he’s actually sad and broken. However, I don’t think Gallaher has really changed and has really become a boaster, this is just a mask he wears because he doesn’t want to show who he actually is, that is to say a failure. The real Gallaher is not the man who returns to Dublin after some years, as Little Cloud says this is not the Gallaher he used to know. From my point of view Gallaher is a very interesting character: at first he simply seems an arrogant man, but actually there is much more to discover in order to really understand him. A Little Cloud is one of the most fascinating stories from Dubliners. ![]()

Capitalist Realism / Mark Fisher memes can be seen as an extension of this growing trend. Philosophers like Hegel and Deleuze became easy buzzwords for alt-Instagram and alt-Twitter spheres.

The idea behind The Wide-Awake Princess is that all the beauty that is found in fairy-tales (I’m talking about Disney and contemporary version of fairy-tales, rather the darker original Perrault, Grimm et al versions) is fake. I think The Wide-Awake Princess is particularly successful because of its angle on fairy tales, which I found very refreshing. I wasn’t disappointed, because this really is one fun book. I was attracted to this book straight-away because I have a penchant for fairy-tale retellings but also because I just love the title! I was slightly worried at the girlie cover but decided to overlook that and read the book anyway. But when despite all the precautions put in place a spinning wheel finds its way to Gwennie and the castle fall into a deep sleep, it is up to Annie, untouched by the magic, to go out and find a suitable prince charming to kiss her sister and break the spell. Princess Annabelle has not had a great childhood her family hold a distance from her, worried that all the enchantments used to better their appearance will fade when she is near and instead spend their time fussing over her older sister Gwendolyn, who is beautiful of course, but also cursed. ![]() ![]() What if Sleeping Beauty wasn’t an only child?

Looking for Alaska opens as the narrator, Miles Halter, leaves his home in Florida to attend Culver Creek Preparatory High School in Alabama for his junior year.
