escritoireazulMan, I wish my textbooks were unpacked. A random statement in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fox1013's journal has led to brief comment conversations about the interpretations of "Goblin Market".
Back when I was at university, I pushed the discussion into the lesbian incest conversation because no one else would admit that redemption involved sisterhood, both literal and figurative, and the healing qualities of woman-love and, in a longer stretch, self-love, with the sisters as two sides of self. I was applauded by the professor for porning up the discussion. She was fairly feminist, though, and we'd often torment the rest of the class.
On a side note, it disappointed me when no one in my literature classes would speak up and debate with me. It felt like high school all over again, when I was the only one to give my opinion and tread the boundaries of "normal".
I even wrote a poem, mock lambasting the teaching of "Goblin Market" and the power of female sexuality, especially that shared with another woman.
I miss literary theory. I really do.
