I can't believe George Eliot! It kind of sounds like she just wanted to finish it.
I kind of wanted to talk about all the men in the book, and how I don't really like any of them. Well... I don't really like any of the female characters, either, but someone else can pick up on that.
Tom
- Is he really that likeable, anyway?! He's quite controlling, takes up his father's grudge, and nearly brakes himself over it. After all, Maggie only wants her family to be happy and together. Not to mention Maggie basically grovels under him, after the Phillip thing. I don't like their relationship at all.
- I mean, he's pretty clingy. I don't like how a man has to be, "like a woman" to be caring or sensitive in this book.
- I think out of all the men, I like Stephen the most. But, it is kind of a classic, pretty-boy situation. He's pretty full of himself, though I DO think he feels for Maggie.
Anyway, so I won't bore you. All I'm saying, is if these guys were around today, Tom would be the redneck, Phillip would be the emo boy, and Stephan would be the male model. I'm not sure I'd really be too fond of any of them.
Any thoughts?
