I put some of my favorite literary heroines from Well-Read Women: Portraits of Fiction’s Most Beloved Heroines into love categories…since V-day is coming up. Which literary heroine can you relate with the most when it comes to love? Do you feel adored? Scorned? Do you pine?
Lover
Piner
Heart broken and scorned
Love thy self
Believer in love
I think that I definitely fall into the “piner” category. I generally love those heroines, my heart goes out to them, Anne Elliot from “Persuasion” in particular. “The one claim I shall make for my own sex is that we love longest, when all hope is gone.”
wow, what a quote Kristen. I guess there will have to be a volume two to include that gem.
I know, right, Sam? I remember this first time I ever read it, those words just ran through me and my heart broke a little…AND YES TO VOLUME 2!!! Or at least maybe an ancillary item or two?! I really think that we need to do something on that front!
Kristen, Caitlin says there may be a chance with B&N for ancillary. I’m so so so hoping! Fingers crossed. XOXO.
oh that juliet illustration, it’s so soft, so beautiful.
i love the words too of course….love is something to give away, not to be held onto. it just grows and grows.
