Reading Sueo For Class And Tell Me This Isnt About Cardan (especially The Last Line)

reading Sueño for class and tell me this isn’t about Cardan (especially the last line)

The Folk of the Air series really didn't have to go as hard as it did with the poetic lines

“I have lied and I have betrayed and I have triumphed, if only there was someone to congratulate me.”

“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop.”

“If I cannot be better then them, I will become so much worse.”

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” “No, tell me.” “I cannot.”

“Kill him before he makes you love him.”

“Kiss me again, kiss me until I'm sick it.”

“He is even more horrifically beautiful than I was able to recall. They’re all beautiful, unless they’re hideous.”

“My sweet villain, my darling god.”

“I want to tell you so many lies.”

“Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips.”

“By you, I am forever undone.”

“My sweet nemesis.”

“It’s you I love, I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”

Against my will, I aim the sharp point of the knife. I press it lightly against my skin. I am ready. I hate him, but I am ready. I hate him, and I hate myself.

"You are my creature, Jude Duarte."

-

"Tell me that you are mine, Jude."

"I am your creature, Prince Balekin," I say, looking into his eyes and lying with my whole heart.

dunno if this makes sense but I found this parallel. turns out dain and balekin are more alike than we thought 🤨🤷

“If you hurt me, I wouldn’t cry. I would hurt you back.”

- Jude Duarte
