FanGirl Gathering

subverts gender power dynamics in a way that seems to intentionally make men uncomfortable- the ‘fixing’ scene?? Jaw dropped.

Asks the question of “can a character be the protagonist AND the antagonist?” (answer: if the audience is watching for the plot/rooting for Linda, she is the protagonist. If they switch sides and root for Bradley, she becomes the antagonist. Her role depends on the neutrality of the fourth wall.)

Purposely withholds scenes from the audience to make us a reflection (a product?) of Linda’s denial/gaslighting. We are not just observers but active participants in the psychological thriller

Bradley’s arc was typical of stranded-on-an-island characters: learning skills to survive. Linda’s arc was the opposite because she came to terms with killing (innocents). Bradley wanted to leave, Linda wanted to stay. Both would do anything to achieve their own goal. Their parallels are natural enemies, which both foreshadows and precipitates the final confrontation.

The progression of Bradley, from being 1) the obvious villain (obnoxious useless privileged bully) to 2) the dude who Does Things in Reaction to his Situation to 3) oh shoot, the victim?

The competence of Linda was soo satisfying, coming from someone who watched Scream 7 recently

Bury your nepo babies

Everything comes back to golf

When was the last time a woman did something truly twisted and still got to live happily ever after? [good for her] Memorable moments:

Linda, covered in rat’s blood, smiling at a paralyzed, petrified man: “My kindness does not make me weak”

Rest in peace to the incredible Anthony Stewart Head (20th February 1954 - 1st June 2026)

I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

1) He was tricked into marrying her. Her family knew about her mental instability and said nothing about it.

2) Rochester never harms Bertha. Even when she attacks others, even when she sets his bed on fire, even when the entire home is burning, he still attempts to bring her to safety. He never sought vengeance.

3) He could not resign to live with himself if he gave her to an asylum. What he could give her at home was better than they had in asylums.

This whole female rage, Rochester abused Bertha, that’s not in the source material. That’s a published fanfic. You know who had female rage? Jane.

You all are saying Rochester is the villain when there is Mrs. Reed? The aunt who hated an orphan to the point that she lied and said Jane was dead when another relative wanted to raise Jane, wanted to love and take care of her? The woman who abused her? Left her in poverty? Loathed Jane (who forgave her, by the way) to her dying breath? This is who we’re ignoring in favor of a man who kept both a wife who was a danger to everyone in the household, and an illegitimate child who he doesn’t even believes is his? Rochester is no angel, but if you’re going to condemn him, condemn him for what he actually does.
