lol are fanboys actually a thing back then?

And it's not like Bronte hadn't written a nigh perfect female character before. See Helen Burns.

The keypoint is management and order. She's a really orderly person to the point that she orders every single hour of her time every day beforehand. It's not really about the profit. It's the...

I don't see the point of making Woodcourt ridiculous really.

Bleh, age difference shouldn't be a hindrance in romance. I thought you 21st progressives would agree. Yuckiness is the word...

lol are you for real? Why would you accept a proposal from some guy who came out of nowhere and just kneeled and said "Would you marry me?". And then he stalks her around like a creeper.

There...

It was based on Dickens' own observations about the strikes occurring at that time.

Dickens doesn't believe on social activism in which it's either with us or against us, and the goal is of...

Oh come on, that sounds like you just have your shipping goggles on.

Okay, where did this lesbian thing come from? I certainly didn't see anything on the text that went to that direction.

Oh, Miss Wade. She's one of the most vile Dickens character in my opinion. Unlike Quilp whose evilness is deliciously over the top, Miss Wade is relatively normal if not for the fact that she spits...
