IndoorDame I could be being naive here, but I have faith in Weston. 2y
BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame normally I would, but these Brontë girls can‘t be trusted ?? 2y

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead haha, so true! They are a gloomy lot 😂 2y
mcctrish I‘m with @IndoorDame ( but it is true about the Brontës ?) 2y
Ruthiella I‘d like to think that Weston is impervious to Rosalie‘s machinations! 🤞 2y
Bookwormjillk 🤞 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @IndoorDame I agree! I think if anything he‘s surprised that Rosalie isn‘t as empty-headed as he thought. 2y
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 🤣 2y
willaful @BarkingMadRead Yes, and someone who will make him abjectly miserable for the rest of his life. 😈 2y
BarkingMadRead @willaful yessssssss 🤣🤣 2y
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? 2y
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I love Bronte but I‘m way in the minority 🤣🤣 2y
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 2y
