IndoorDame I could be being naive here, but I have faith in Weston. 12mo
BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame normally I would, but these Brontë girls can‘t be trusted ?? 12mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead haha, so true! They are a gloomy lot 😂 12mo
mcctrish I‘m with @IndoorDame ( but it is true about the Brontës ?) 12mo
Ruthiella I‘d like to think that Weston is impervious to Rosalie‘s machinations! 🤞 12mo
Bookwormjillk 🤞 12mo
Clare-Dragonfly @IndoorDame I agree! I think if anything he‘s surprised that Rosalie isn‘t as empty-headed as he thought. 12mo
willaful My secret hope: Hatfield (?) will get a huge inheritance and Rosalie will suffer torments, bwahaha! Though of course that would also reward him and he's a horrible human being too.

So someone on mastodon was saying that Anne was the true feminist of the Brontes and... I'm really not seeing it. Maybe I'd have to read her other book again.

BarkingMadRead @willaful that would be amazing, so long as he marries someone other than Rosalie 🤣 12mo
willaful @BarkingMadRead Yes, and someone who will make him abjectly miserable for the rest of his life. 😈 12mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful yessssssss 🤣🤣 12mo
TheBookHippie @willaful I never got that either I‘ve read all of Bronte more than once except this one and I just do not see it yet? 12mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I love Bronte but I‘m way in the minority 🤣🤣 12mo
dabbe I do think a feminist “blooming“ of an idea is shown in THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL. Helen does leave her husband (unheard of then)--even though she goes back to nurture him when he's dying. In Agnes, we get to witness her passions because she's telling us the story, but she hasn't exerted herself outwardly yet. I'm hoping she finds a way to show her true self and blast these a-holes to kingdom come. #aweebitharsh #buttheyarejerks #teamagnes 12mo
