Fun Home

I think the point I was trying to make in class didn't come out so well, as it usually doesn't. My point was that their personalities are hinged on the fact that they are a hyper-literate family, and the way they approach reading, the way they analyze books, reflects who they are. It seems more like an insulated family, and each member is isolated to a certain extant from the family. After all, all families are weird in their own way. But rather than expressing emotion, or love, of any sort, they instead jot down their feelings in books, sometimes expressed with just an underlined sentence. Repressing their analysis sort of reflects a repressed sexuality. I have to get to another class right now. Oh, well. I'll try to expand later.
