Thinking about the interpretation that The Goldfinch represents Theo's heart and Popchyk represents Boris's heart.
In relation, thinking about:
Theo thinking he had The Goldfinch - kept it shut away because he was scared, but it was with Boris all along
Theo taking out The Goldfinch, but only in Vegas
Boris stealing The Goldfinch
Boris losing The Goldfinch, but doing everything in his power to get it back
Theo taking Popchyk with him to NY
Theo freaking out because people might think he's gay because of Popchyk
Theo forgetting about Popchyk after he found out Boris stole The Goldfinch, but immediately freaking out when he realizes that Popchyk is gone
Boris having a good time with Popchyk, but Theo being the one who remembers to give Popchyk water
small talk
hey party people
mr. smalls from the amazing world of gumball is autistic spread the word
my favourite keanu reeves movie was the one where he fell in love with that short blond dude
no actually i will never get over how they made chase davenport, the guy who freaked out over having an a minus a narcissist
I (53M) pretended to die in a fire so my best friend won’t be alone during the last few months he has on Earth and he called me an ass at my funeral, but I did it FOR him because if I didn’t I’d have to go back to jail. AITA here?
Edit: the jail time was for a little felony, I just drove a car into my ex’s house, no one got hurt.
Edit: yeah it was on purpose but my friend forgave me so it doesn’t matter
Edit: Okay some of you think you’re soooo clever, which is why you’re on the internet judging other people’s lives instead of doing something interesting or useful. So sad how you only have one way to feel big.
Edit: yes my bestie really is dying. yes it’s a little gay. yes he’s my enabler. people can be all three, it’s the twenty-first century.
Edit: stop upvoting u/aussiedoc and u/parkpuncher, they don’t know me, they’re lying. flooding a hospital would be so juvenile, I would never do that.
edit: seriously how am I the bad guy, what was I supposed to do, let my man kick off alone? you people are terrible.
edit: okay it’s a lot gay.
i finished it they are gay
i’m watching dead poets society are those two roommates gay. it’s just a question btw i think they r gay
Peter Ferguson (Canadian, 1968) - Pastoral (n.d.)
I have seen many people critique how Donna Tartt ends novels, particularly The Secret History and The Goldfinch.
But the thing is, you’re being told snippets, moments and memories of a person’s life - it’s not a story that can end fully resolved or mysteriously. Tartt writes about someone who might exist, a character so realistic that it’s unbelievable how complex they are.
That isn’t a story you can end, not in any satisfying way, it only ends when there isn’t much left to say.
excuse me sir theodore decker, is this boris’ shirt??????
