Bookwormjillk Am I the only one that thinks Walter and Marian would make a much better couple? 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree, they are much more suited to each other 3w

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk You are not the only one! 3w

dabbe @mcctrish Such a narcissistic wimp! 3w

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Good one! 🤩 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Nope. Laura just lies around, saying “Ah is me.“ She's the typical #damselindistress Marian is so much more interesting! 🤩 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Oh, they would be! They work together really well. I suspect it is an Elinor Dashwood and Colonel Brandon type of situation… 3w

mcctrish I ship Waltarian/Marialter completely @Bookwormjillk also @Clare-Dragonfly despite the menacing tone of the letter I did laugh out loud at #manofaction @dabbe I‘d lose my marbles too if no one believed me that I was me especially my stupid fucking uncle but I‘d burn his house to the ground cuz if I‘m dead who can make me pay #letsgohauntunclenervous 3w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought the same thing 3w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish dead ladies can‘t do crimes 3w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk that might be a whole other book 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3w

dabbe @mcctrish I think if we ripped up his drawings/sketches or whatever-the-hell they are, he'd die instantly of an aneurysm. #unclenervousnelly 3w

mcctrish @dabbe we ride at dawn 3w

dabbe @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 3w

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk You‘re not wrong about Marian, but according to Walter “the lady is ugly!” 🙄 3w

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish @dabbe We have our fanfic title ready: “Dead Ladies Can‘t Do Crimes: We Ride at Dawn.” Who‘s gonna write it? I‘m first in line to read! 3w

Leftcoastzen I‘m so mad at all of them ! #greedyPercy #ManofAction #unclenervousnelly 3w

ElizaMarie @BarbraJean @Boomwormjillk @mcctrish @dabbe - I‘d read that book!!!! 3w

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 3w

Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 3w

BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 3w

dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣 3w

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“ 3w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 3w

Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk #perfection 🤩🤩🤩 3w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yesssss 😂 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 3w

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 3w

ElizaMarie #JawDropped 🫢 3w

KAO I did not see that coming!! (But in retrospect probably should have!) 3w

julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 3w

BarkingMadRead @julieclair when I think of flowers I think of Carol on the walking dead #lookattheflowers 3w

AllDebooks I liked the characters and found them relatable. Gradgrind's change of heart and mind over how he raised his children was telling, particularly with how emotionally stunted they grew up to be after a diet of FACTS. 2mo

AllDebooks Bounderby was a blustering, pantomime figure and I couldn't rrad about him without thinking about Monty Python's sketch of Yorkshiremen competing over who had this poorest childhood. https://youtu.be/VAdlkunflRs?si=45rddY_grpd-J2Wd 2mo

dabbe @AllDebooks 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing that link! #perfection Plus, what a flippin' hypocrite who was finally exposed by his own mother! He was an absolute arse who deserved everything he got at the end. 2mo

dabbe I think the characters were allegories. Examples:
Thomas GradGRIND: the embodiment of the cold, fact-based approach to education and life.
Mr. Bounderby: a symbol of the way industrialists of Dickens‘s time inflated their stories of achievement while ignoring the inequalities of the poor whose hard work allowed them to succeed.
Stephen Blackpool & Rachael: their personal struggles seem largely symbolic of the horrific plight of the working poor. 2mo

Lcsmcat @AllDebooks ❤️ the Monty Python reference! 2mo

Lcsmcat I felt the characters in HT were a little less realistic than some of Dickens‘ characters, but for the purposes of this story, they worked. And some of them showed growth and change, so not complete allegories or caricatures. 2mo
