Okay, y’all, here’s where Amalia gets annoying about Van Gogh.
Van Gogh didn’t give his ear to a girl he was in love with. 
He gave it to a prostitute named Rachel, whom he did not love. Never ever in any of his letters did he ever mention anything about loving her, and Van Gogh talked about everyone he loved.  Everyone.  By all studies, this gesture, delivering his earlobe to Rachel, is a symbolic gesture of his love for Paul Gauguin, whose departure caused him to self-harm in the first place.  Rachel was the prostitute they shared, so Van Gogh was literally giving a part of himself to Gauguin after he left.
He. did. not. love. Rachel.

Molly- you will be happy to know that when I did a presentation on van Gogh in my art class last year, I specifically noted that he gave it to a prostitute.
