Love Bee

Ok, so I finally got to the crucial part of the story. And now the movie is coming flooding back to me. How about when she copied that picture for the ball just like Rebecca. Bogus. But, what I like from this part of the story is the character of Beatrice. Actually, I think she is my favorite character.

Beatrice is genuine. She almost reminds me of myself in the way that she does not have the best filtration system in her head. But, she cares about people and does not mean any malice when she says things. I love that she seems genuinely concerned for the narrator even if she did think Rebecca more of a better match for her brother. She likes the narrator and wants her to be happy. She apologizes for her grandmother; she pours her heart out with apologies during the ball. I love Beatrice!

On the other hand, I am still so completely annoyed by the narrator. For heaven's sake, grow a spine. I guess I don't totally understand being really shy, well, because I'm not. But, c'mon. She's going beyond being shy into utter childishness. She gets angry when Max treats her like a child, but she acts like one all the time. He married you and you are now the mistress of the house. So act like it. Who cares if the maids and servants don't like you or think you're stupid. You are paying them. And, really, who wouldn't have fired Ms. Danvers already? Uhh, I would have said, "terminated" the very first day.

Meanwhile, I am attracted to Maxim. For some reason, in my head, he seems so dashing and handsome. Honestly, I keep thinking of Daniel Craig from James Bond. It's nice. But kind of annoying.

And I've picked the book for next month, but I'll let you know next week so as not to jump too far ahead.

Bisous.
