When somebody shares a quote by a famous author like it’s something the author personally said and believed, but you know it was actually spoken by a character you’re not supposed to like… š
one time I saw on Pinterest a cutesy little pink flowery image with the quote āāas soon as I entered the house, I had singled you out as the companion of my future lifeā -Pride and Prejudiceā and like
ladies that is a mr collins quote š
My favorite example of this (not quite a character but a commonly misinterpreted quote) is Mary Oliverās quote:
