OK you guys out there must be wondering like why the weird title today. Those who aren't in my lit lecture, here's the story: Our lit teacher offered a highly interesting new perspective we could adopt for Jane Eyre, which is the sexual one. In other words, the Red Room incident may be regarded as Jane going through menstruation and becoming a woman while John Reed whacking her may be considered losing her virginity. Ok personally I feel it's all bollocks, but it's all right, new perspectives are always welcome. Then there was something about how men in the past were afraid of women, as shown by how witches ride the broom which is actually a phaelic symbol, thus meaning they are able to control male authority.
Ok so like let's look deep into this metaphor like a good lit student. Since witches ride on brooms which = phaelic symbol, then Harry Potter who rides on brooms = phaelic symbol be gay?? Ok so from here we can uncover more dirt, cos like if Harry is gay, then maybe Ron is his boyfriend too, since in the Order of The Phoenix Ron begins to ride the broom=phaelic symbol as well! So the whole liking Cho Chang on Harry's part and Hermione on Ron's part is just a facade to hide their homoxuality! This is a whole new discovery!
Hey wait. So since the broom is a phaelic symbol, then wouldn't houswives and cleaners all be sexual maniacs who all hide their perversity under cover as the virtuous Angel of The House? This is clearly a world of deception, where women and cleaners hide their immense and overflowing sexual desires and only allow themselves to indulge in sweeping the floor for that sensational ten minutes daily.
Wait this is getting more and more exciting and we unveil the dark secrets of the world! Through lit we understand that many parts of the world used to adopt a patriachal society. This is, however, no longer true, it seems. HOWEVER! If the broom may be used as a phaelic symbol, then wouldn't all of us living in condos or HDBs be living in a phaelic symbol itself?? Then isn't this a representation of a patrichal society, since most of us live in this high-rised, phaelic, apartments??
What is the world coming to?!

well i reckon the entire LT thought she was bonkers. and it also confirms her ahem ahem obsession with phallic symbols. as hp was saying that day, you can twist anything you want in the world to your own view provided you try.
