That dude that plays the guy who hit her with a rock really freaks me out. I'm really afraid of him every time the music comes on it seems like he its going to do something really bad
this series is strikingly similar to pride and prejudice..the intense forbidden love, opposite status, family chaos and drama, financial security, rejection, pride,prejudice,misinformation,overbearing mothers only difference is that mr.darcys father and mothers death correlate to miss hale's family....i like'em both!
@BFFsCrew broken heart, moving to the north because she doesn't like it, her son being in another country. You know you can die from a broken heart--- if you decide you want to die, you'll die.
@BFFsCrew in old books people just die away without proper explination, propably cause at the time many diseases weren't propaly diagnosed, and so on. people just died in real life as well, just like that
I think Margaret's remarkably strong. Her father uproots her entire existence and she's the only one in their family that stays strong. She has too. She can't cry. She can't be angry. She just has to keep everything all bottled inside. Even delivering bad news, she's the only one with the balls to do so. Very courageous. It's mistaken for coldness, but it's just because she can't show the emotion. If she does, then they'll all fall apart.
Some people apparently believe that the actress that plays Margaret is unfeeling. I think she does an impecable job of being the quiet and non-whining heroine. She suffers a lot on the inside, much like Anne Eliott of Austen's Persuasion. Plus, I think she's absolutelly lovely. She's not the typical beauty, tall and completelly slender. But she has the most beautiful eyes and skin. She's unique - which makes her memorable. Thornton also has this quality, which makes them perfect together.
Is it weird that I don't like the female lead? She just has total lack of emotion, and I don't know if that's because that's how she is portrayed in the book but it bothers me. Makes me wanna slap her sometimes.
It is very much her character. The book is very similar in regards to her emotions. However the book gives more inner monologue about how she does feel. It is frustrating to watch sometimes.
@queenrei34 She isn't like this in the book. She does cry over things but I don't suppose floods of tears make good film, also crying makes most people ugly, which isn't really the idea here.
Be reasonable, Margaret looks to me like the only person in this family who can organise anything, who will run things if she falls apart? She has to stay in control of herself.
have to say, the styling of margaret's hair is really lovely and completely suits her, one of the nicest (in my modern opinion) I've seen in a period drama that isn't hideously off putting, see anne elliot's in persuasion 07! :')
The discovery of aniline dyes in the mid-victorian period made it possible to dye cloth all shades of purple and violet and there was an enormous craze for these colours, especially as they were considered suitable for half-mourning. Consequently there would have been plenty of 'run off' from the factories.
Did Margaret not notice Thornton there in the church? I was wondering if that was the case at first - the case of him looking back at her as though she should've taken appreciation to his presence instead.
@murraythehotscot edith is her sister...at the beginning it was her wedding... and she was there in london or whatever....when they were looking at the inventions and stuff
@chichimonkixpikachu Right, I'm just reading the book and it says that Edith is her cousin, Mrs Shaw's daughter. I know they differ slightly from each other but surely they wouldn't change that?
@murraythehotscot It's the same in the series. Edith is her cousin. Mrs Shaw and Mrs Hale are sisters. They did not change anything about that. It just doesn't come out very well.
poor boucher he was the most reluctant to join the union and when he did he had to suffer the most being the father of six starving children.higgins with his inflammatory speeches made him come to this.
I love how the LAST idea was to get a lawyer....hahaha I'm sure it has something to do with the time period, but seriously...the town crier, a pamphlet,....THEN a lawyer haha
why in the world is Thornton always where he should not be, seeing what he should not see, and interpreting things how he should not interpret them! Grrrr!
Congratulations to all of you discussing your "charitable" works to all of the "ungrateful masses". It was always my understanding that one should give to those less fortunate without asking for anything in return. To those who give with love, compassion for human suffering, without looking down their noses at those in need, bless you!
I feel so bad that anyone ever had to live like that. To die of starvation b/c the government did not take care of their people. Children starving and neglected b/c parents can not work to feed or give them a warm room to sleep.... man that is just so depressing....I'd love to go back in time in some portal to bring relief from this modern time where there is plenty....where even the poorest of us are fat with too much to eat. Just so sad to even watch that man wander hungry and living wild.
u dont need a portal to travel back in time. there are plenty of hungry, sick, orphaned babies and children in 3rd world countries, like those in africa, or haiti, parts of south america, and the list can go on and on.
No, duh. But just think how much more faster, easier, safer to step from one space to another in seconds. And I do my part and more for this modern age thats gone to spit. Most of them are ungrateful and take it as their right. I'm sure a few really appreciate the donations. I give 10% of my pay to charity every week. It doesn't even make a dent unfortunately. So I say again.....think of that door in 'Lost in Austen' , how much easier and how much more effective....it would be wonderful!!
i dont know if i fully agree on the gratefulness factor, but the door like the one in "lost in austen" would be wonderful, especially if it can take you to a place where your help would be most appreciated. and kudos about the charities that you support. my personal belief is that every penny, every small donation makes a difference. so u never know, it may make some dent.
Thank you. I'm sure the dent or appreciation is felt somewhat by some few persons. But mostly the human nature is to take and expect.... few appreciate. I've done the outdoor soup kitchens and one in twenty say thank you or allow that it is a gift of the heart. The majority grab and run off without looking at us or saying anything. Or complain oddly about not enough salt etc....just not normal. And as for many other donation centres ...its like a tornado of rudeness and high expectations.
I know we should never weary in well doing, but I find it better to chose my charities now for those who I know will appreciate and progress rather than be happy to beg and live in slums b/c they know they will be petted and encouraged to stay so by ppl that give too much heart. You know.... I much prefer to attend on the children and the animals. The children can be helped to frame a mind full of ideals and dream of a future. And the shelter animals...lol they just love you for being there.
Fred...sexy??? Maybe. Henry is very nice looking but John is of course the main dish...the rest are just mere appetizers compared to him...Oh but how I would love to feast at that buffet...
Despite the excellent casting for most character, why that woman for Dicken? She just came in with a smile and a nod as if to say "Dinner's ready" when their mother is about to die.
A ninny? Selfish??? He is hiding from the gallows! I would think anyone would do the very same. And all Margaret does is wipe foreheads and be a comfort, I would hardly put the pressure of "caring for them all" on her. She is a good daughter, yes, but most of her distraught is mental/emotional. And this would be greatly added to if Fred were to be hanged.
Ya know, Thornton must think Margaret is some kind of vixen. First, when he proposed to her, he thought there were "others", then he met Henry who obviously liked her, now, she's hugging this guy in the middle of the night! Especially for those times...I'm just saying, lol
I cant help but think Fred is so selfish and a ninny boy... If only I was here to help you.. if it wasn't for the risk... Margaret cares for them all, the father, the mother and even having to help Ms Dickson. No wonder she is so.. what does Mrs. Thorton call her so strong minded. Fred is such a coward!
Haha. Didi you see that look Thornton gave Fred and Margaret. It was like "I WILL KILL YOU". Poor John he must be so brokenhearted. And Fred is really cute too.
That dude that plays the guy who hit her with a rock really freaks me out. I'm really afraid of him every time the music comes on it seems like he its going to do something really bad
