    Gemma Whelan is the standout actor in this series for me. Her expressions and reactions are amazing. When Anne told her she would basically disown her if she married Abbot, I’ve never seen a reaction and acting like it. She looked wounded., crushed and I was right there in the moment with her

    Anne Lister in life was a strong Tory and had all the prejudices about landed property being superior to “trade “. Despite her eccentricities, she was extremely conventional in this way

      Yes I liked that they didn’t try to hide her classist and traditional ‘male’ views. That just bc she was a lesbian woman it didn’t make her sympathetic to anyone whom she didn’t see as equal to an educated landowning man.

    In this issue, Anne acted like the typical male 19th-century landowner whose sister wants to marry someone of a different social class. It was the 1830s in Britain and people were expected to marry someone of their own social status. Mr Abbot may have been wealthy, but in the eyes of the British landowner class, he was considered to be of inferior status because he was a merchant and not a landowner. Its a shame that Anne was so conventional when it came to this, and chose to follow the conventional rules and traditions she ignored when it came to her own personal life. I felt sorry for Marian.

      The funny thing is Marion would have disowned her sister probably if she knew she was a lesbian. She has no idea. Because although plenty of people back then obviously did know these things went on. Plenty did not. Marion is niave.
      But Anne is a hypocrite. I don't understand why she can't find Marion a man of more suitable standing. If that's the problem. To greedy with the dowry maybe. Condemning her sister to spinsterhood.

      @@louwinters508 I actually think Marion would have been accepting if she had known. Annes aunt is, and I think her father knows and just choose to not aknowledge it and turn a blind eye.
      Marian is naive, but since she is such a family loving and loyal person, she would have bee accepting: I think subconsciously, she knows on some level that Anne had a relationship with Mariana and now with Ann Walker, because of the way she speaks of them, but I don't think she is aware of what she must on some level understand deep down.
      Anyway, I agree. Anne should have done more to help her sister find a man of her own class, if that's so important, and since she hasn't bothered, she should accept when Marian breaks conventional rules, just like she has done herself.
      I think Anne is, simply, a bit selfish. I do think she loves Marian, but in the same condescending way as most 19th-century landlords; and like them, she didn't really bother that much about her sister and just expected her to stay at home sewing, while she was out having fun. Basically: Anne acts like any 19th-century upper class man in many issues, and she treats her sister like most men of her class treated their sisters.

    • @tdf123emcee2
      @tdf123emcee2 Před 2 lety +5

      I don't think we have to rule her out as the "typical landowner male". It's rather simple to me, her family is rich and she has worked really hard to be able to be in charge of the family money since she is a woman. A marriage would make her vulnerable because there is the risk her enemies would want her sister's husband to take over. That's the reason why Walker's family didn't push her to marry anyone after her husband died, because her sister was in charge of her states and her sister's husband was content with them owning everything on paper. Anne is thinking with facts she can't take emotions into account when she knows use has enemies and her position is weakened by a marriage. The fact that Abbot first shows interest in her sister and then dumps her and then returns with a marriage proposal is suspicious. Specially during the polls and when they are trying to figure out how to move the coal with boats...and have the competition from the development of rails. That's why she is asking her sister to be clear with Abbot and tell him that nor she or her children will inherit anything. If Anne wanted to get rid of her sister she would just accept the marriage and then would never look back, but she is telling her what will happen to her financially. Yes, she is threatening her as well because she clearly doesn't trust Abbot, I think she won't trust any man with her sister because to her is a threat financially. So someone, anyone who truly wants to marry Marion for love will have to put up with Anne's bad humor, and provide for Marion the same quality of life she has been provided by Anne. That's what Anne is trying to tell her sister when she says she deserves better. I don't think Abbot is completely honest, maybe is the writing but he was away for a good time and now is suddenly back professing love....when did he fall in love if he was absent all this time? And Marion has to keep defending him with her family, he is not giving an explanation, I thought when you love someone you try to clear the air with the family as much as you can and if you can't then well that becomes their problem you can't just expect to be accepted right off the bat of you never even show up....so I see Anne's point...Marion is use to a completely different type of life and she wants children too, they will have more expenses....if Abbot fails, Anne will have to help her sister and her children...as much as she says she won't speak to her we have seen Anne will help as she did the boy who broke his leg.

    I've loved this show since the beginning, but what I especially love about season 2 is that we are really getting to see Anne's flaws. It's easy to have her as a hero - for being a woman far, far ahead of her time, for being strong and knowing herself, for not wasting a moment of opportunity in life. But she had layers and flaws, as we all do. Though she's famous for being unconventional, she held tightly to the conventions which favored her. That meant that she wasn't always fair, and she wasn't always right. It meant that sometimes she was horribly selfish. And that makes her human.

    This was so horrible! I felt so sorry for Marian. I understand Anne may not like Mr Abbott, but if Marian is happy, why does she care so much? Her sister is happy for her and Ms Walker. Also, why does she not want her sister to inherit Shibden after Ms Walker? Why give it to a cousin instead of your own sister? Really don't get it. Otherwise, I am loving the show!! ❤❤

      Status at those times mattered more than love and happiness. Even in Anne's choice of Miss Walker. If Ann Walker was in traide or something that is less status than landownership, Anne wouldn't even looked at her. Same applies to the family. Anne and Marian may not be as friendly but Anne cares about Marian and her place in society, in her own way.

    Anne doesn’t like Mr Abbot because he doesn’t work in a trade that she seems fit in a higher class way. Anne would want him to be part of the Tory party and be a landowner of many houses but it’s not always for everyone to be a landlord. To be quite honest Mr Abbot is the least dangerous man Marian could marry and at least he works in the wool business where there’s a high demand for because of the production of clothes, bedding and other usages.
