“You cannot understand what it is like being newly married, desperately wanting to be a good wife, all the while feeling constantly inadequate, like there is something wrong with me.”
I don’t think the Bridgerton writers could’ve summed up comphet better than in this scene with this exact wording. The fact that Francesca KNOWS that something is not right but can’t put her finger on it.
I love that they didn’t portray Francesca as completely clueless in her journey to where she is going to end up in season 5, this pre-build up, especially this scene, shows that she is fully AWARE that her feelings for John, her marriage, her expectations for herself don’t line up with what they should be.
Even though it’s so painful to watch as a queer person because it hits too close to home, this anger Francesca feels is basically repression before she even realizes what is going on with herself. Some sort of shield protecting herself.
And the fact that she vents to Michaela about this is probably because she can feel that Michaela possesses some type of freedom that Francesca doesn’t have and it works so freaking well because they’re basically two sides of the same coin.
The scene where Francesca will come to realization in season 5 will probably be so beautiful, i genuinely can’t wait for the new season.
Franchaela my darlings you’re so nuanced and so beautifully written.
