Ha, Irene's annoyed look when Soames is trying to talk to her while she's playing piano. If that was me, I'd have reflexively hit someone, but then again, I'm speaking as a pianist. I hate it when people bother me as I'm playing, and I relate to Irene in the fact that being forced into a loveless marriage, music was a consolation to her and even then she was forced to be brought back into reality.
Irene is a cold fish, she does not try to converse while playing the piano, and when they go upstairs for sex, she actually looks sour and dutiful instead of smiling and holding his hand.
i thought this version would be great because the first was really good and im sorry this is like watching two old people screw, or watching paint dry. . . .how slooooow and boring! I love Damien Lewis though
Irene's class placed her in a realaly awful position. There was very little work a woman in her position could have done. She could have become a governess and that's about it. And as a governess she'd have earned very little to live a life of seclusion. like being buried alive. Given her general lack of options I think it's easy to understand why she chose to marry a man she didn't love. And she was honest about her lack of feelings for him anyway.
These two people are just gross- Soames and Irenee. I have no sympathy for either of them. The only person out of this whole series who got a raw deal is June.
I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND,SHE WAS VERY GOOD ON PIANO,SHE COULD MAKE A LIVING TEACHING.SHE HAS NO EXCUSE..SHE IS USING HER HUSBAND AND SHE'S THE ONLY AUTHOR OF HER MISERY.
@BloodyLisBeth I dont think its even ever made clear in the book as to why Irene married Soames when she didnt love him . Because of that in the original series a side story was written that Irenes widowed step mother with whom she still lived had gotten involved with a horrid old bugger who all but attacked her and so Soames was the only way out of the situation .
he should have realised that this woman could not be tamed unless she was in love. it is obvious that she never did and never will love him. And he is a fool for love.
Soames should have inquired what she was doing in the bathroom after their intimate moments over the years. Actually, that was not a good birth control method she used. Although, it was assumed at one time that couples did not have any children until after the first two years of marriage. At least, I think that is proper.
@mistykitten1 OK, I know you wrote this a month ago, but what was she doing with that thing? washing herself of all the *ahem* you know....is that what they used back then?
@femmefatale1990 Yes, It is called douching. I am not sure when this "period drama" movie, it could be the late 19th century or early 20th century ???Most likely before the "Sufferage of Women" in history and before many of the discoveries of medical advancements. This is not a reliable method of birth control. It might have been the only method that women had at the time. It is a crude method to be sure. In any case, she did not respect Soames' wishes, as her husband.
@femmefatale1990 I am so glad the movie did not show the real detail of the character "douching" and they just let me guess what she was doing. "Yuck". I am not sure that women still "douche", but I still see the products on the market, so they must still do so.Thanks for your comments on the Forsyte Saga. It is a great drama and the characters are so interesting. I just love English movies, showing their country-side and way of life.

In the book Soams is a selfish man who only wants to own his wife, not to love her. True baddie for whom you can only be sorry at the end. And Irenee is a woman who needs love and freedom and you are supposed to be so happy when she gets her Joly. Here he's desperate for her love and she is just a cold boring woman without any passion. :-( Or do I remember the book wrong?
He should have run the other way when she did not respond to him at the party in part 5. Now he has to live with his choice. The heart wants what the hearts wants.
I think it is terrible, what she does in (3:28). No wonder she did not get pregnant. She really needed to love him. But we still do not know what happened in the time gap between Part 5 & Part 6, much could have happened in their marriage of two years. Thanks for posting.

Soames bought what he desired, Irene gained security and lost her soul, a very common situation throughout history.......

Just so you know, douching forces the sperm upward, thus increasing the chances of conception.

@mistykitten1 Even in my lifetime douching was rather common. I believe it went almost totally out of fashion in the 80s or 90s. But I may be wrong.

Guess she's not into gingers. But then again she shouldn't have married him. Damian Lewis is not that bad.
