York Place

Introduced in chapter 6 as where Mr. Oakley and Frank Jermyn's art studio is, and the girls visit York Place in chapter 7 to take photographs for the artists. It is in a middle-class area.

Tunbridge Wells

In Chapter 4, it says that Fanny had moved off to Tunbridge Wells for six weeks until she met up with her sisters. She was moved up there with a family named Pratts. Tunbridge Wells is roughly 30 miles southeast of London. It is a fashionable resort town for the well-off.

Old Bond Street

Chapter 4 reveals that Old Bond Sreet is home to Russell and Allen's, a shop where Constance goes to get her ball dress tied. This street is also home to a chain of high-end retail stores. With this being said,  the shop is located in an upper-class area.

Question for week 2

Dorothea is depicted as an unconventional female character who does not enjoy playing the music instrument and material life, but rather knowledge and wisdom. However, at the same time, she constantly reflects her sense of inferiority to Mr. Casaubon. How does this reflect the author’s construction of femininity in Dorothea as a character?

I thought I had posted the question yesterday. Sorry for the delay!

Question for Week 2

Does Dorothea have the wrong notion of marriage/love?

In chapter I we read that Dorothea has this naive idea (I think) thta the ideal husband should be a fatherly figure who can teach you things and tells you how lead your life. Can she find true happiness in this sort of marriage, without considering the mutural romantic feeling and the union of minds between a couple?

Sorry for the delay, I posted it on the wrong place (twice!)

Question for Week 2

Does Dorothea have the wrong notion of marriage/love?

In chapter I we read that Dorothea seems to have a naive notion of marriage, that an ideal husband should be a fartherly figure who can teach you things and give guidance instructing how to lead your life. Can she find true happiness in this 'version' of marriage, without consideration for the mutual romantic feelings and the union of minds between two lovers?

Sorry for the delay, I posted it on the wrong place.
