Their tragedies, isolation and poverty became the world's gain. God bless them. Thank you for uploading this.

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/katha
rsis 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!
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.
