i just wanna talk about the relationship between henry and camilla
So, I am sure that henry never loved camilla and was with her only for the sake of aesthetics.
And when he shot himself, he was full of triumph because he had achieved a moment worthy of being described by Homer himself or Euripides. The girl suffering after his tragic suicide, what an intensity of passions!
Richard was probably beaming and giggling stupidly while he wrote about it

Richard Papen is queer because his entire internal monologue is basically him finding masculinity attractive in both men and women, not because he kissed a dude after repeatedly stating that they should stop.
