LOVED Knights of Guinevere!!

Even this season is acting like her disinterest in Hyacinth’s etiquette lessons is her being selfish. Eloise is older than Hyacinth. Eloise has already taken these lessons.

Eloise wants to learn science and philosophy and math and history and economics. This is like watching all your brothers go to college while you have to sit in on your sister’s high school Home Ec class that you’ve ALREADY TAKEN as punishment for not wanting to marry.

Eloise is constantly treated as though she’s an immature self centered brat for not wanting to talk about dancing and hosting and fashion and marriage. The show and the fandom punishes her for feeling constrained by her life.

How is it that the show gives more sympathy to Anthony for the constraints of being the head of family, sympathy to Benedict for feeling like an outsider (which Eloise does too! He’s just allowed to pursue alternate lifestyles and SHE IS NOT), sympathy for Colin for feeling purposeless (when Eloise ALSO feels purposeless because she doesn’t WANT to just be a wife and baby machine), but little to no realistic sympathy to Eloise???
