Will Wil and Penelope's relationship last?
LunchBagArt:
Sponging off your friends or lovers is simply unattractive behavior, male or female.
dcnblues:
Ugh. I had liked Penny thinking she was smart. But "Look on the bright side, maybe [dreary manual labor will] provide you with some inspiration for your poetry." is the dumbest thing she's ever said. It may also be the dumbest attitude in the world.
danman:
Why? Many great poets (in my country) wrote about workers, their plight and the values they create. Many of them worked in industry at some point of their lives.
benji:
Labor, especially farm labor, is a pretty solid theme in American poetry as well.
dcnblues:
Then it should be easy to list all the great American poets who were able to build a lasting body of work and who had to work as farmers to support themselves. Go ahead.
If you want a list of great artists, on the other hand, who had some form of patronage / inheritance / support, there are plenty of reference books on painters, poets, and writers available. Check under the heading of 'most.'
As well, Penny gives Will grief ("Jesus Fucking Christ, Will...") for 'not living up to his full potential' while working at a coffee shop? Cast out the beam out of thine own eye, toots.
