So you want both Rory and Lorelai to be failures? For all of what Lorelai went through to have been for nothing? That's a novel concept. Makes the entire point of the show, well pointless.
| I apologize if we've moved on and this is a dead subject, but I'm only now able to do a bit of skimming and catching up.
At any rate, are you suggesting that living a life in Stars Hollow or any Small Town America is a failure? You're suggesting that Lorelai's life is a failure even though she has a successful inn, friends, and a loving family? Granted she's being a bit of an idiot at the moment, but that's really beside the point. Are you also suggesting that a Yale education is too good for a small town? Even if a small town life is what ultimately makes a person happy? Rory can only be successful if she graduates Yale with honors, lives in a high rise apartment in the city, and is working a corporate job? Whatever happened to being happy for a person as long as they are happy with their lives, especially if it's not hurting anyone?
And do you really think that Lorelai would think everything she went through to get Rory where she is was for nothing just because Rory decided she didn't want to be a journalist (or something not nearly as elite as we may have expected)? Her daughter will still have an excellent education because she had gone to one of the best prep schools, an ivy league college, and will have experienced so many things that many don't ever get to experience. As long as Rory is living the life that makes her most happy, that doesn't have her having a melt down every 6 months, then I think Lorelai will be quite pleased with who her daughter has become. Lorelai has never considered Rory a failure. And Lorelai would never consider Rory a failure. |
