He wants to do his thing and then have someone to talk to when he feels like it, not someone to help him, eh?Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-23816066403828768212014-05-10T23:13:23.461+02:002014-05-10T23:13:23.461+02:00I think Casoubon was truly interested by Dorothea ...I think Casoubon was truly interested by Dorothea when they first met, I don't think he ever met a woman like her before. But now that they've married, he realizes he really has to share all his life with her and that scares him. He can't easily change from the bachelor lifestyle he always had.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-44236501149325727832014-05-09T23:15:01.996+02:002014-05-09T23:15:01.996+02:00Okay, so in my version all the engagement stuff an...Okay, so in my version all the engagement stuff and the Casaubons arriving in Rome were in episode 1. The rest of what you have here is in episode 2, which was 53 minutes, except it went on through Fred getting better and to the point where Dr. Lydgate asked Rosamund to marry him. Just so you know!<br /><br />I am really confused by Casoubon, to be honest. When he first met Dorothea, he seemed genuinely interested in her ideas, delighted that she was interested in his, and seemed to desire a meeting of their minds. Now he acts like she's a bothersome child. I almost suspect mental illness... maybe some deep, dark secret? Very intriguing!<br /><br />Of course, Ladislaw treats her like an equal, like Casoubon did at first. <br /><br />I think Mary is a very sensible person -- she's now my second-fave character. I want to see more of her! I would have scolded Fred too, and probably a lot more.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
