Exposing Dickens?  “Pip and Herbert from Great Expectations are among those who really have homosexual leanings, the study by Dr Holly Furneaux of Leicester University claimed.  Often Dickens’ male characters ‘conveniently’ fall in love with the sister of their best friend, which she read as further evidence that he had woven the suggestion of homosexual relationships into his plots.”  Mmm hmm, just like high school.  For some.  Maybe.  I’ll have to go re-watch the Ethan Hawke film.  Though!  Miss Havisham was totally werqueing that dilapidated hoarder chic that would later make the Beales of Grey Gardens into icons.  So there’s that.  (via)
