Shirley by Charlotte Bronte, Fiction | Charlotte Bront�

These dudes, with their love triangles, infighting, and grudges! Don't ever let anyone tell you men are not full-on bringing the drama all. the. damn. time. We learn more about Yorke today, and you know what? I mostly love him; I can hardly ever resist a "rebel and blasphemer". Alas, he also succumbs to the drama and the chapter ends with him angrily throwing everyone out of his house. These men - so emotional! #HashtagBrigade

Bklover No kidding! Where IS Shirley?! And is Shirley female? Back then (until the Shirley Temple era) Shirley was a man‘s name. Who knows. 🤔 19h

dabbe I thought LARK RISE was hard to get going ... but this ... 😳 18h

Bookwormjillk I‘m glad I‘m not the only one struggling with this. I thought it was just a post holiday potato coma or something 17h

lil1inblue @dabbe @bookwormjillk If I didn't know better, I would wonder if I'm reading the right book. Such a slow start! 17h

KAO Every time that the narrator addresses us directly as readers, I hear the voice of Lady Whistledown from the “Bridgerton” series in my head: “Dear Reader…”! 16h

ElizaMarie @KAO ooo me too! I kinda liked her addressing us throughout! 16h

Deblovestoread Same! It reminds me why I didn‘t make it very far the first time. She‘s got to be showing up soon! Was Brontë hoping this beginning would draw in the men? ? 16h

julieclair I‘m on the struggle bus too. Surely things will pick up soon… 9h

Helstone and Moore go to rescue the men bound on Stilbro' Moor and fight about their opposing political views the whole way. This comes after our narrator becomes a disappointing apologist for Helstone, the "warlike" parson. He may be "without sympathy; ungentle; and prejudiced" ...but any criticism for that is just "poisonous rancour". ? The bar for men has always been in Hell! Anyway, the translation for the chapter's French dialogue is above.

TheBookHippie @mcctrish 😅 2d

Bookwormjillk Blah blah blah then blah blah blah in French. I had forgotten the Brontës do that. 2d

Tineke Perfect for reading in bed then. I will probably promptly fall asleep. 😂
2d

BookishMarginalia 🤣🤣🤣 2d

KAO Thank goodness for endnotes with English translation! 2d

Deblovestoread I am assuming whatever it was at the end it wasn‘t important 🤣 2d

BarkingMadRead @Deblovestoread it was not important. More of the same. But in French 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d

willaful Now I remember why I haven't read this one. 😂 I am enjoying parts of it though. The narration has a sense of humor. 2d

dabbe @KAO 🎯🎯🎯 2d

Ruthiella Um…where‘s Shirley? 👀 2d

BarkingMadRead @ruthiella #wheresshirley is that like where‘s Waldo? 2d

lil1inblue @BarkingMadRead That needs to be a hashtag. #butinfrench 🤣 2d

lil1inblue @Ruthiella My thoughts exactly after this chapter. 😅 2d

eeclayton @Ruthiella @lil1inblue @BarkingMadRead Are we quite sure it's a person? I mean I thought Villette was a girl's name before reading the book, so 2d

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton @ruthiella @lil1inblue I am flying blind, I have no clue 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk I said out loud something along the lines of, “Oh, COME ON, Charlotte!” 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @Ruthiella Moore has a sister who has been mentioned a few times but not named, so I‘m thinking it‘s her? There has to be a female MC at some point, I saw several covers on Storygraph with pictures of women… 2d

Austen_meets_Annie @BarkingMadRead can you change my name on your list from Crinoline Laphroaig to my new name? I haven't been getting tags. I'm catching up I'm on Ch 3. 2d

Austen_meets_Annie I to am wondering where's Shirley? 2d

BarkingMadRead @Austen_meets_Annie yes! 2d

Chapter 2 is a doozy! I love any narrative that reminds us to reflect on labor history and the rights of workers and this chapter is IT. The Luddite uprisings are in full swing and the pitiless capitalist known as Robert Moore is bringing in new machinery, which the workers cannot abide. Despite how the term is used today, the Luddites were not explicitly anti-tech; they were pro-worker, which included highly skilled craftspeople, i.e. artists.

IriDas Now I‘m gonna have to research the term. It sounds like it was co-opted by the ruling class so that when people hear the term they automatically turn away thereby “volunteering” to be kept from the truth. 3d
