Seriously though, if you can't cope with the language used in a novel in context of the time and place in which it is set, and/or when it was written, then you probably shouldn't be reading it.
Apparently there's a woke version of Finnegans Wake doing the rounds - I hear it's not even funny. And I insist the 'w' word is the right word in this context.

Woke. I must confess to a certain stress response when the term is bandied about as if we were all adherents to a certain (authoritarian and, dare I say it, racist) ideology. What does Woke mean? Generally speaking, not what you think it means.
Woke: "aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"
So, I am so curious given the literate population of this site, from a purely moral perspective, what is this knee jerk use of the term?
