The Bitter Root (Tessa&Will) [The Infernal Devices]

SPOILERS for Chapter 20 of Cassandra Clare's "Clockwork Prince". If you have not read/do not wish to be spoiled, I recommend NOT watching this video. You have been sufficiently warned.

Anywho, as you have obviously gathered from the previous statement, this scene comes from a moment in the novel, "Clockwork Prince". It's one of the major moments where I was gripping my copy of the novel pretty hard while sitting on the edge of my seat. I, personally, really like how this scene played out, though it does give me a few suspicions for future...relationship issues in the future for Tessa, Will, and Jem...if they happen at all. *shrug* I am not the author, so I can't pretend to know, but I will say that the wheels are turning and attempting to anticipate and predict what will occur in "Clockwork Princess."

But I digress. I really wanted to highlight this moment where Tessa basically has to break Will's heart because she has agreed to marry Jem--no knocking Jem/Tessa, please, because they are my heart's delight--despite Will telling her that he loves her. It's a very emotional and tense scene which ends with Will leaving (*cough*STORMING*cough*) from the room and Tessa, alone and overwhelmed by her emotions, taking a fire poker and gripping it in her hand. I will also note (I might have read this wrong, so don't quote me), that Will mentioned that he had waited for her to call out his name--to call him back and give him hope, as it were. Obviously, she did not, but that's what I meant to signify by having him go back to stand outside the door; it also implies that some time has passed from when she takes the poker and he returns to the door.

As for the music, this song just happened to be playing while I read this scene, and it seemed to fit in its odd way xD
