I won’t lie; I really didn’t enjoy the book much. I felt like Radcliffe made it seem like there are all these mysteries but then she tells us all the reasons behind all the mysteries and it just seems like it was placed there for a reason. I just feel like she should have left some a mystery to us because now everything seems like a fact and logical. The novel as a whole seemed mysteries but yet annoying but I figured as we kept reading the book she should have at least not have left everything to be answered at the end of the novel. It was like this is a mystery and that is a mystery and another one, and another once again, but hey we come towards the end of the novel and oh look all your answers are going to be answered one by one.
Also I didn’t really enjoy the whole gothic aspect of the book. I know during that period they didn’t have such novels and this was something new and refreshing but it didn’t seem that way to me when I was reading it.
I felt like it was so typical and the whole storyline between Emily and Valancourt is just what we have been reading for the past couple of months. It just seems like all these women are always ending up with the guys that they want and its this whole love story and it just doesn’t seem real to me. I am seriously getting annoyed by all these fairytales. It is like for the Love of GOD just shut the hell up already. How much more of this do we have to take?
Overall, I guess by the end of the novel it pays off to have read all the mysteries because now we have all the answers. Some would say that Radcliffe made a good decision by connecting the entire novel. In my opinion I find that to be boring. It should have been the people we least expect it, like the song being sung in the castle, or who is outside of Emily’s window. I did enjoy Emily as a character though. She seemed really interesting and a little different than the other characters but yet still the same. Except the fainting part, that was a bit annoying, I wanted to mention that in class as well.
