TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - While I agree, in fairness Dorothea went on and on and on about how what she wanted from marriage was to learn from/help someone “wiser“ than her. I think she's starting to realize that that isn't a great balance for a marital relationship... although sadly I don't think she's realized that Casaubon isn't really that wise 🙄 14mo
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks very good point! 14mo
quirkyreader I always thought that Casaubon wanted something “wild” that he could tame in his own “image” of womanhood. 14mo
BarkingMadRead @quirkyreader I get the feeling he wasn‘t expecting any push back! 14mo
Bklover @quirkyreader Yes! Oh, and young. She must be young. They‘re easier to train. 🙄 14mo
Bklover Oh, and didn‘t he want a child? He says he wanted to leave a “copy of himself”. 14mo
peanutnine @Bklover that phrase gave me icky chills 14mo
Bklover @peanutnine Yes, me too, and for several reasons!!! 14mo
CoffeeNBooks @TheAromaofBooks It made me very angry that Casaubon just wanted to replace his secretary with Dorothea, but you make a good point- perhaps Dorothea gave him the wrong impression of what she wanted. 14mo
