A Tragedy

Imagine two men sitting in a library.

The first man clearly thinks he is teaching, speaking with an air of genius superiority and delivering didacticisms in the reclined manner of a vanguard who is at the forefront of his profession. This man expects his words to be regarded as ascendant profundities by his hearers.

The second man is pitched forward, leaning into the lecture with evident wholeheartedness. His mien conveys fascination in the subject matter and gratitude for the experience. It is apparent that the listener desires to be nowhere in the world but rooted to his chair by the lengthy discourse being provided by this clearly brilliant scholar.

Now, be sure to catch aaaaaaall the sarcasm, and you have secured a proper allegorical depiction of my current British Literature course.


I don't want to spend my time concocting bull shit, but if I must, at least let me do it for free.
