like hun, you can do better!Īnyway, back to my favorite topic: Mr John Thornton. This is some relatable content right there.Įlizabeth Gaskell has such a way with words, I am so obsessed with her beautiful language (and also with all of the fitting poems that she chose as epigraphs for her chapters, gosh!) I literally cannot believe that she was friends with Charlotte Brontë. The way he is (in a non-creepy way) so preoccupied with Margaret and constantly talks about her, so that his mother and sister get super annoyed just by the mention of her name, like HONESTLY SAME, JOHN, I, too, do nothing else but talk about Margaret and you. It's very rare to get such a deep look into the emotions of the male love interest but Gaskell didn't shy away from showing us our beautiful precious son from his most vulnerable side. I finally figured out why I love North & South so fucking much: John Thornton is as invested in his relationship as I am.
