Re: Fingersmith Discussion

[(Anonymous)]

What gets me the most about Mrs. Sucksby is that I don't think she ever realized the extent to which Sue loved her. I mean, she must've known to some degree, but maybe after a lifetime of dealing with other people's babies, she just never put as much thought into as she could have. I really felt like her shock at Sue tricking her way out of the asylum and coming back wasn't so much because she didn't think Sue was smart enough, but because she had no idea the lengths to which Sue would go to be with her again. I think that's ultimately what made her choose to sacrifice herself, and to me it felt like she regretted what she did and spent her last days questioning her decisions.

IDK I really adored this book and the whole thing with Mrs. Sucksby was what got me the most. It's just such a complex and interesting relationship. Since Gentleman was the obvious smarmy villain, having her in there as a completely different--yet equally manipulative--person was a really good contrast.

I also loved Dainty but I hated John. I didn't feel like he served any real purpose, aside from being there at the end, with the trial and stuff.

That's some really interesting insight about Mrs. Sucksby. I like the way you think about it.

John was a prop, imo, like Mr. Ibbs but more interesting. He was just there to be part of the setting Sue grew up in and part of what defined her Lant Street home. I liked him for that, but he certainly wasn't much of a standalone character.

I find her really fascinating. I think she may be the most interesting characters in the book, with Maud a close second. It's not that I think she's a good person or that she didn't know what she was doing was bad, she definitely did. But she was so focused on Maud and getting her back that I really don't think she ever expected Sue to love her the way she did. And that fucked with her and made her question what she was doing for the first time, but it was too late.

i just love this book augh
