It goes on and on. I think I'm the only person who's ever actually finished the book. I wasn't arguing for the crushingly boring novel. My question was about victimhood. They're the ones who ended up dead in the cellar.
Women are human beings, and human beings are a very mixed lot.
I've always been against the idea that women were Victorian angels, that they could do no wrong. I've always thought it was horseshit and does nobody any good. In the early fight for women's rights, the point was not that women were morally superior or better. If this were true in life or in fiction, we wouldn't have any dark or deep characters. We wouldn't have any Salomes, Carmens, Ophelias.
