Ruthiella Ugh. Alec is such a manipulative creep. I know this book is old, but that sh** still happens. I think that‘s why this one is really going to get under my skin. I‘m taking it personally. 7mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella seriously though! 7mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella Ughhhhhhhhhh. It happens ALLLL THE TIME. The strawberry is supposed to be symbolism for her not quite a woman allure to men to want to take if I remember right. 😵💫🤦🏻♀️ is 🤬🤮 @BarkingMadRead 7mo
BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie that makes sense 7mo
Bookwormjillk Don‘t eat the fruit Tess!! This all went way over my head in high school! 7mo
currentlyreadinginCO This all went over my head in hs, too! @Bookwormjillk but life has absolutely taught me to watch out for this dude since then! I am somewhat surprised that a male author in 1891 wrote a creepy guy this blatantly. 7mo
Bookwormjillk @currentlyreadinginCO YES! 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly WHAT. A. CREEP! And it‘s so sad that Tess can‘t articulate why he creeped her out. And the handwriting in “Mrs. D‘Urberville”s letter is masculine… what do you want to bet the old lady has no idea Tess even exists? 7mo
Deblovestoread Agree that Mother is likely being kept in the dark about what her son is doing. 7mo
Bklover Not sure what I was expecting but so far it‘s surprising me - what a nasty creep! I know it‘s a dark book, but wow! It also makes me wonder how Tess came from that family. 7mo
Cuilin It‘s all so much darker than I remember. 7mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie That could also be the reason she's the only one with the dancing girls who has a RED ribbon in her hair. #watchouttess 7mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk I saw the movie years ago, and I remember this scene with Natassja Kinski. It was sizzling in all the cringing ways, though NK was absolutely gorgeous. 7mo
dabbe @Deblovestoread Hopefully she's not locked up in the attic like in JANE EYRE. 😃 7mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe Oy to the Vey.... #probably 7mo
julieclair @Cuilin I find that many books are much darker as an adult, vs. when I read them as a child or high school or even college. Is it the wisdom of years, or the loss of innocence, or both? 🤔 7mo
julieclair @dabbe Oh great, now I‘ll never look at red ribbons the same way again! 😂😂 7mo
dabbe @julieclair Sorry about that! 🤣🤩🤗 7mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Now THAT should be a new word. How would one spell it? Just like you did, I think. #oytothevey 🤩🤣🤗 7mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe My family wants me to patent it 🤣👀🤷🏻♀️😂 apparently I say it often… (edited) 7mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie 🤩🤣🤩 7mo
Cuilin @julieclair I think it‘s because I went to Catholic school and if anything “spicy”went over our heads they were not going to point it out. 🙄 7mo
julieclair @Cuilin 👍😂😆 7mo
rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly @Deblovestoread @dabbe I hope Alec‘s mother isn‘t locked up in the house like Norman Bates‘s mother. 😂 7mo
