#bunny corcoran
bro. bro you are romantisizing the secret history. bro you are enamored with the greek class just like richard. bro you are ignoring the bad things and creating aesthetics based on a book telling a murder of a young man. brother.

reading 'the secret history' by donna tartt for the first time, so here are my thoughts on the prologue through chapter 1:
[CONTAINS SPOILERS] obviously
— it is so spectacularly written that i don't even care how much richard complains and talks about nothing because it reads so nicely
— john richard papen is queer (derogatory (for him))
— francis abernathy is queer (canonically(??))
— henry winter and professor julian morrow are queer and i don't care that henry is a legal adult, i do not like whatever they've got going on with each other
— people probably want bunny corcoran to be queer (probably because his name is bunny and what straight man would ever go by bunny?? and also because he's dead), but he is not, i fear he's just pathetic and loud (so far)
— there is something very sinister about professor julian morrow, i do not trust that fugly slut
— nevertheless he does eat when it comes to in-class discussion
— i should probably read more greek classics
— also do not trust richard, i know first person povs pretty much always entail unreliable narratives, but this man seems particularly not at all reliable
— also also do not trust bunny,,,, idk he just seems too nice for the company he keeps and that doesn't make sense (well actually he does end up dead so,,)
— actually i don't really trust any of them,, it's probably because the book opens with murder, but there's something very unsettling about everyone and everything
— again donna tartt is a wonderful writer

So I was thinking about Henry being either an antihero or antivillain and such. And I have come upon a conclusion- from Bunny's perspective Henry Winter is the Villain, but from everyone else's perspective Henry Winter is the love interest.

Henry was so real for getting a headache after spending all that time with Bunny. I get headaches often and I would get a headache if I had to listen to Bunny for more than an hour.

-Henry taught Bunny to waltz. Although Bunny said it was stupid, he actually really enjoyed it.
-Bunny tried really hard to get Henry back on good terms with Judy and his other friends.
-Henry, despite his distaste for technology, would talk Bunny to the drive-in movies. They’d sit in the backseat, and Bunny always fell asleep before the movie was over.
-Bunny had a few of Henry’s sweaters in his closet at pretty much all times.
-And he’d left enough clothing at Henry’s house to make three new outfits at any given point.
-Bunny cried when Henry moved off campus. He did the whole “but you can’t go!” thing. He almost won Henry over with it too.
-After Henry moved, Bunny started staying with him nearly every night. This ended shortly before the fall.
-The night before the murder, Henry and Bunny had made up about Rome and everything else. They slept in the same bed that night.
-Marion was not a cover girlfriend at all, and was probably aware of Henry and Bunny’s relationship.

Today I discovered that a couple of TSH characters were based on actual people Donna Tartt knew at Bennington College- amongst them were students Todd O'Neal and Matt Jacobsen, who were the inspiration for Henry and Bunny respectively.

“Does such a thing as "the fatal flaw," that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature?”

PD: Hi, I'm doing a survey on Aesthetics for my university research, anyone who knows what aesthetics are can answer and I'd be very happy!
