mcctrish What the fuck happened to Esther ?! She took pills but now she looks like she‘s been in a car accident? They shaved her head? #oneflewoverthecuckoosnest for real! The pendulum has swung completely in the other direction and we just let people self medicate with their poison of choice and give them no care at all 🥲💔 8mo

Bookwormjillk I wish the entire #hashtagbrigade could get in a car and go rescue Esther. 8mo
Librarybelle Agreed, @Bookwormjillk ! 8mo
Ruthiella @mcctrish I think the bruises are from the botched electro-shock therapy. (edited) 8mo
ElizaMarie #AMirrorReally !? I love how she mentions she knows perfectly well you don‘t serve #BeansWithBeans 8mo
Clare-Dragonfly Everyone is awful in this chapter! Why on earth didn‘t the nurse try harder to convince her she didn‘t want a mirror? “You don‘t look very pretty” is a huge understatement. Or the nurse could have held the mirror herself. But also, the old nurse who told her seven years‘ bad luck is making things worse if anything. 🙄 8mo
Clare-Dragonfly And the racism makes my skin crawl ☹️ 8mo
CogsOfEncouragement So much to take in and attempt to decipher. The beans remark was too funny. The food being gross but Esther finally eating again. There is probably some symbolism there too. 8mo
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly soooooo bad, I‘m not a fan 8mo
willaful Esther is such an unreliable narrator, I have no idea whether people are actually as awful as she thinks they are or not. 8mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful I wonder the same, this is all seen through her very unreliable eyes 8mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🎯! 8mo
dabbe @mcctrish 🎯! 8mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead @willaful Excellent reminder of the #1 problem with 1st-person POV. The narrator will always be unreliable. The best thing, though, about 1st-person POV (IMHO) is how much we get to know the character who's telling her story, and if we care about her (which I think we all do), we really become involved in her story and wanting to see her survive. We're behind you, Esther! ❣️ 8mo
tpixie @dabbe well said! Love all the comments! 8mo
