Cuilin Anyone else starting to like Rawden? Jos is a joke, Dobbin a bore, George is disgusting, Amelia insipid, and Becky is trouble. I love it!!!! 2y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin for sure! 2y

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I agree with you on all of that! 2y

mcctrish @Cuilin #teamrawdon but I don‘t think Dobbin isn‘t a bore, he‘s just honest and true. George the pig owes everything to him and doesn‘t deserve him. I need Amelia to grow a spine and Becky needs to take it down a notch #toobadjoscantgotowar 2y

dabbe I'm also amazed at how these people can live so high and mightily when they don't have much $. The amount of debt they've accrued is unfathomable to me, yet they go on drinking, gambling, and partying! Though I seem to recall my rowdier days in college where I could get by on a night of partying with just a few bucks. #shhh 🤫 2y

willaful @dabbe it's so stressful to me! But apparently once you're in the right circles, even now, you can get away with a lot. For a time, at any rate.

Can someone explain the extremely pissed off General to me? I didn't have a clue about what was happening in that whole scene. Perhaps I read it too late at night. 2y

BarkingMadRead @willaful he was crushing on Becky and she was flirting with George 2y

eeclayton @Cuilin @mcctrish I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to dislike Amelia. I kind of feel sorry for her, but can't really empathize with her. It's interesting how useless she is as George's wife even though she's been raised to fill that role. 2y

mcctrish @eeclayton I‘m wondering how much of her pathetic-ness is her budding awareness that her husband is a pig ? 🤣 2y

dabbe @willaful Lordy, ain't that the truth! 🤣 2y

dabbe @BarkingMadRead And no wonder! That girl flirts with every male she comes in contact with! And basically taking George way right from under her nose--the same George that insulted her! What's with these people? 🤣 2y

dabbe @eeclayton Amelia is the epitome of a wall-🥀. 2y

willaful @BarkingMadRead Thanks, it went right over my head somehow. 2y

Daisey @Cuilin Great summary of the characters. I really want to like Dobbin because I see his integrity, but I also want him to actually be helpful. 2y

Cuilin @Daisey @eeclayton @mcctrish I maybe a bit harsh on Dobbin, his heart is in the right place. I just question his judgment, being so loyal to George? I‘m hoping his.character arc includes severing ties with G. 2y

Cuilin @mcctrish I think so, Amelia‘s developing awareness of her husband‘s character is so numbing causing her apathy. 2y

TheAromaofBooks I've definitely developed a soft spot for Rawden. I love that he seems completely aware of the fact that his wife is kind of a terrible person but he just admires the heck out of her smarts 😂 2y

eeclayton @Cuilin @mcctrish that's a great point, but also, she has zero coping strategies. All her life, everything has been mapped out for her, to the point of who to fall in love with. She could've had a nice life if everything had gone according to plan, but she hasn't been prepared to deal with unexpected situations. 2y

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton yes! That‘s so true! Like she thought if she didn‘t get to marry him she would actually die. Girl. No. 2y

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks absolutely 💯 2y

Cuilin @eeclayton @BarkingMadRead the Sedleys should get a refund from Pinkerton Academy, terrible finishing school. 😆 2y

mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣 apparently there are 2 tracks and Amelia needed some of the courses Becky took 2y

Cuilin @mcctrish yes!! 😂🤣😂 2y

eeclayton @Cuilin @mcctrish 😂😂😂 2y
