My ObservationsThough my participation in Lit. Discussion forum, there is something I could not help but to notice. I do not know the reasons for it, or just what it means, if it really means anything at all, but I found it pesonally interesting, and it is what I have experinced.
It seems to me that people whom read different authors have very distinct personlaity traits. I read a wide range of different things so I have partkane in a vairty of different discussions of different books and authors on the forum, and this is what I happend to notice.
People whom read D.H. Lawrence tend to be very agreeable, they seem like a frinedly, and laid back group that are pleasent and ejoybale to hold discussions with. They are always very respectful, and beyond that they are quite nice and curtious. Though they do not always have the same opinons or persepctives, more then just resepcting the thoughts of others, they also encourage and welcome different ideas, even if those ideas may be different from thier own. They hold intelligent discussions that are a pleasure to partake in and have a very relaxed air, even when things can get quite philosophical.
Those that read George Orwell seem to be a tad more critical, but still very resepctful, and never really hostile. They may be a bit more forceful with thier own thoughts and opinions, they still allow others to disagree or provide a different persepctive without being personal or arugmentitive about it. And all in all it is still intresting and pleasent to partake in thier discussions and debates.
But those whom read Charlotte Bronte, and I should say Jane Eyre in paritcular, because that is the only thing of hers I have read thus far, so it is the only discussion of the author I have partook in, are very agressive. They are extrmely hostile to those that have differnet opinions, they are down right argumentitive and further more insulting to those that happen to have a different view point then they do. Thier debates seem to lack any real intelligence, becuase of the millitance in which they express thier views and seem to be just of the vien of I am right, and you are wrong, and anyone who disagrees with me is stupid, just using fancier words. I have made the decision to no longer attempt to partake in any of the Jane Eyre discussions even though I really enjoyed the book becasue it is just downright unpleasent. 3:35 PM - 1/25/2008 - post comment
