every literary reference in taylor swift's folklore and evermore, explained

in the novel jane eyre rochester declares his love for jane for the very first time by saying i have a strange feeling with regard to you as if i had a string somewhere under my left ribs tightly knotted to a similar string in you it's a little more gory i'm not gonna lie but still romantic

the general theme here is that men are trash and what's very interesting to me is that rebecca is actually killed in exactly the same way as the man is killed by taylor swift in no body no crime ... i think that the link between tolerator and rebecca is incredibly strong i don't know if you could tell but i'm quite excited about it

and of course later we have an allusion to the green light which is one of the most prominent motifs and most iconic motifs in the great gatsby ... honestly if you've read this book or watched the film read the lyrics to happiness and there are so many references to this book

a lot of these ideas and theories are most comprehensively kind of summed up in the mad woman in the attic which is a book by gilbert and goober and this draws on the story of jane eyre and how dr rochester's ex-wife is locked away and deemed mad
