  • It's good to see the positive influence of the father, Patrick, here. Only one so liberally minded could have seen over such geniuses. Thanks, ksotikoula, for this upload.

  • I am of the same opinion about Patrick. He may have been austere and some times patriarchal but he could be open-minded and he seems to have loved and esteem his daughters, despite his partiality for Branwell.

  • Unfortunately, no. I never was into cinema much but I will have it in mind. :)

  • Btw. This goes along with the subject of Greek Tragedy, but have you ever seen the film adaptations of plays done by the Greek filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis?

  • For some reason I can not find its title. It would be either "Ranthorpe" or "Rose, Blanche & Violet". These two are the only novels of his that are mentioned in Gordon's biography and I think it was there that I read it.

  • That is a good comparison. Perhaps you could write a book comparing Greek literature to the Brontes? Healthcliff is like Medea!!!!!!

  • Which book was Lewes talking about? He was not a good friend to her!

  • Well he's drawn on epic lines&he has the same arrogance&pride that mark Oedipus' fall,let alone the irascible,ready for fight disposition.He seems to say to Jane"leave it all to me,I'll take the burden for both&keep you innocent&safe.I'll fight with Gods&Demons".He gives a sense of superpower strength but he forgets he is only human&fallible&that is why he goes down.He's not selfish but deluded.And of course the whole theme of hubris-wrath of god-punishment-atonement/katha­rsis Greek tragedy has.

  • Realy? How so. I love the Oedipus Plays -- but I like Medea best. Jane Eyre and Lucy Snowe are nothing like Medea! lol!
