That is some pretty great, evocative language there. I can see why it'd stick with you like that.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

It is! TE always dreamed of being a writer and he, along with the Arab woman he's quoting of course, certainly have a way with words.

I guess it stuck with me so much because blue eyes are so adored in Western culture. They're hugely present in Hollywood films, for example, and they're romanticized as hell.

So it really really stood out to me when that Arab woman was quoted and described them so negatively with such horrible connotations of death.

In literature, it's often green eyes. Maybe because it's more "unique" and sets the character apart from others? But blue eyes seem to be more popular in older works.

Re: OP

True. I have seen an uptick in green eyes. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- I have relatives with green eyes -- it's just rare to see brown eyes romanticized.

Of popular media, the first thing that springs to mind is Twilight, funnily enough, with Bella's "chocolate eyes."

Re: OP

you know, it's curious

where i live blue eyes are considered attractive, but green eyes less so, because they are more common than blue

(i prefer green to blue so i was baffled)

I think Ned might be projecting slightly here re. the ugliness, but it's more than possible someone did say it to him as well.
