nonethefewerI'm re-reading "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality", and I have a question.
From page 48:
From page 27:
I wonder if this connection was deliberately made by the author, is all.
From page 48:
This was one of Draco Malfoy's lessons which Harry had thought was actually pretty smart: people who tried to defend themselves got questioned over every little point and could never satisfy their interrogators; but if you made it clear from the start that you were a celebrity and above social conventions, people's minds wouldn't bother tracking most violations.
From page 27:
"Not that I've ever been through high school myself, but my books give me to understand that there's a certain kind of teenage girl who'll be outraged by a single insult if the boy is plain or poor, yet who can somehow find room in her heart to forgive a rich and handsome boy his bullying."
I wonder if this connection was deliberately made by the author, is all.
