Re: Fandom Annoyances

Well, it's good you've found something to enjoy about him! Don't we all have our shallow pleasures?

It won't help me, though. I'm aro-ace, and good acting is always a great thing, but it certainly won't make me like the character himself. I'm just hoping that Gaskell will somehow manage to un-dick him in the last 200 pages *sighs*

Maybe it's possible? 200 pages isn't much to un-dick someone, but I imagine a decent writer could manage it. (Granted, this woman might not be a decent writer, but...I hope you enjoy what's left of the book anyway.)

Not everyone can be as easily swayed by an actor/actress as I can, apparently.

For what it's worth, so far I've really liked her writing, so I guess I'll just keep trusting her until it becomes obvious that she's failed :) It's true that many things could happen in 200 pages, and the anon below says that Thornton changes his views somewhat, so there's certainly hope.

Now I wish I had read the novel. I meant to, but it never happened.

I believe anon is right in that Thornton does undergo some change, but he's such a stubborn character that it takes a while. He never struck me as a terrible human being, but I can see why you might not call him likable either. (Again, for me what made him likable is mostly Richard's performance.)

They are also right about the film focusing more on the romance, so some of the obsession with the pairing is probably from people who only watched it and were into the chemistry between the actors.
