My MA thesis was about gendered power struggles in narrative formats between Marian Halcombe and Walter Hartright as they fought for the same “hero” role (wrt Laura) in Wilkie Collins’s The Woman in White, an absolute fave of mine.

Hi there! I think more than anything I was disappointed with it, I wanted so much for it to be good but it just didn't work on so many levels. I did think that some of the cinematography was good and looked nice. I did like some of the casting, particularly Achilles and Patroclus, but then their scenes were so poorly written that it didn't matter. I'll admit I've forgotten quite a bit of it by this point, which in itself is telling because if I like a program I'll remember it well. I found myself not caring about anyone, there was a real lack of emotional depth, so by the time everyone was dead it was more a relief that the programme was over. Honestly in the end it was just....boring.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.      They may not mean to, but they do.   They fill you with the faults they had    And add some extra, just for you.But they were fucked up in their turn    By fools in old-style hats and coats,   Who half the time were soppy-stern    And half at one another’s throats.Man hands on misery to man.    It deepens like a coastal shelf.Get out as early as you can,    And don’t have any kids yourself.
