Such a click-bate article. What sort of a lazy half ass article is this? Proclaiming halfway through a piece about the source material that you didn’t read the source material because you consider that action “undergrad-lit-class-y” not in anyway leveling with your readers or being refreshingly honest which I expect the author assumes. It’s just downright lazy and would in an actual undergrad lit class just get you flunked out right.

I stopped reading at that point. If you are going to write some selfindulgent price about what’s you assume the source material might have been, have the common decency to post that up front so people can avoid wasting their time on your prose.

I suppose the irony criticizing an article because the author admits to not reading all of their source material, then admitting you didn't read the whole article is lost on you.
