BarkingMadRead@TheBookHippie she really is! And ugh about the snow, you probably don‘t want to hear that we got none this year in SC 🤣2y
AllDebooksI've got a feeling we've not heard the last from Rosalie 😕2y
RuthiellaBye Rosalie! Don‘t let the door hit ya on the way out! 😆 I am hoping Matilda is going to be less of a manipulative meanie!2y
BookwormjillkAnd another murdered animal. I would never make it in Agnes Grey times between the lack of jobs for women and the random animal slaughter.2y
mcctrish@Ruthiella goodbye to bad rubbish in Rosalie‘s case and I think Matilda is only mean to creatures ( but not as bad as the first bunch of heathens)2y
mcctrish@AllDebooks it‘s rather ominous that Mr Weston thinks it‘s a bad match too2y
mcctrishCould Mrs Murray lack any more empathy?!2y
willaful@AllDebooks -- yup. She's going to do something horrible still. Or at least be intensely miserable. But I vote horrible. 🙄
@mcctrish He's definitely unnervingly blind to her faults. She's very good at hiding them. But I think he'll be enlightened. Hopefully not in the worst possible way.2y
Clare-DragonflyIf it weren‘t for the animal sadism I think Matilda would be my favorite character. I feel bad for her natural interests being squashed!2y
willaful@Clare-Dragonfly I think Matilda has potential? She's obviously not the type of person the author likes, but in real life, I think she could grow out of her bloodthirstiness. She strikes me as a late bloomer.(edited) 2y
Morr_BooksI love the bluebonnets scene. I just saw bluebonnets and a local park too. I'm happy to take a break from Rosalie even if is short lived. Also, what is the deal with characters in this book being cruel to animals?2y
dabbe@Morr_Books This disturbed me, too! In trying to find some kind of a guide for this book, I stumbled upon a passage that stated that a lot of this story is autobiographical--including the killing-of-the-birds scene. Does this mean that Anne = Agnes? I think it's too complicated for an answer yet. Thoughts? 🤔2y
BarkingMadRead@dabbe it‘s definitely possible, I‘m sure that people then didn‘t have the same feelings about animals that we do now. They didn‘t often keep pets, animals usually served a purpose and that‘s it 😢2y
