BarkingMadRead
Age of Innocence | Edith Wharton

Cuilin Archer 0 points May 💯 points!!!! From watching the Gilded Age, divorced women were completely ostracized, so ladies had to have their wits about them. 6d
willaful Archer was always trapped. He's just been feebly struggling instead of gnawing his own leg off like Ellen did. 6d

lil1inblue @Cuilin 🎯🎯🎯 6d
Ruthiella @willaful Totally agree! 👍 6d
lil1inblue @willaful Very true. And in many ways, he's trapped in his own mind, as well! 6d
Bookwormjillk @willaful you got it 6d
Bookwormjillk Also I bailed on this book once before so this is my first time getting to the end. I wish I had known how much I would love this. Thanks @barkingmadread 6d
Clare-Dragonfly At the beginning when one of the moms expressed concern about May overexerting herself I was like oh, she‘s definitely pregnant and got REALLY mad at Archer. But then at the end of the chapter it turns out he had no idea, but she used it to get rid of Ellen! Clever May, self-sacrificing Ellen. 5d
Clare-Dragonfly @willaful Ooh, well put. 5d
dabbe I think I'm the only one here who wishes/ed (I've read it before) that Ellen and Archer would work out. That would mean them both bucking their society for the love they feel for one another. And yes, the only one who would be hurt would be May, but I somehow think she'd find a way to move on--or she'd shoot Archer dead with an arrow. Which is pretty much what her being pregnant has done to him. 🤔 5d
BarkingMadRead @dabbe as someone who was recently cheated on and dumped, i think it all sucks 😆 but if he‘s not happy, he should leave first and then have all the feels. This dancing around and flirting is childish and stupid 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5d
dabbe @BarkingMadRead Agree 💯. He knew he had feelings for Ellen BEFORE he married May; he should have never married her. She even gave him an out! He is the most frustrating and egotistical character, and I think I'm biased towards him because of Day-Lewis.
P.S. I am beyond sorry about your ex and what happened to you. It does suck--totally. 🧡🩶💛

BarkingMadRead @dabbe DDL is a delight for sure 😍 5d
ElizaMarie Ugh @BarkingMadRead cheaters suck - I am so sorry you went through that 5d
mcctrish Archer is so frustrating! I wish like @dabbe that Ellen and he would get together against the odds. May only wins that he stays and is miserable and she‘s worth more than that 5d
dabbe @mcctrish All three of them deserve someone they love and who loves them. So tragic this story is! #channelingyoda 💛💜🧡 5d
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead ugh. Cheaters. Been there done that. Wishing you forever happiness going forward. 5d
