Subject: Weeeel . . . talk about opening a can of worms! LOL, indeed. I don't have feelings towards LJG that lean either way particularly; he's quite interesting to me, an anomaly of sorts, an unexpected sort of mushroom, as DG calls them, in my reading. I think her writing is incredible enough to draw me in where I usually wouldn't go. I don't like Dougal; a self serving opportunist is the nicest thing I can call him and Bonnet is a sociopath. No feelings of sympathy there, I would have shot him dead in the forest. :-) I like Jenny and Bree even when they annoy me, I do love to hate Laoghaire even though I feel sorry for her. I just notice we are much harder on the women characters, and it makes me laugh b/c it mirrors real life IMO.
In reply to: Rollaine 's message, "LOL! I can only speak fo myself, but I always liked Bree. Se had to deal with some very strange things, and I think she did quite well. Jenny is OK, a bit too free with her hands when it ocmes to her brother :-)! I do think she over-steps her bounds too much. Loaghaire did try to have Claire killed indirectly. Can't blame us for not liking her! Me, personally, I find nothing appealing about Bonnet at all-he's a sleaze. Same goes for me with Dougal.>>>" on 13:20:14 01/22/08 Tue

[> [> [> [> [> Didn't want to open the can LOL! But I do think its interesting. LJG is an interesting character-I'll give him that! I always wanted to put that question out there, without getting anyone angry! -- Rollaine, 14:50:08 01/22/08 Tue

[> [> [> [> [> [> I don't think that is a bad question. I think LJG is written to be a person we connect with, admire, understand his reasons, etc. That's why many of us forgive him. If I think a woman was written as sympathetic as John, we wouldn't feel the need to scratch her eyes out. We "know" John (We meaning the ones who love him), therefore we don't get angry. I think the same thing would happen to a woman if we really knew her and liked her. -- Conmama, 07:22:46 01/23/08 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Ah, you are all much nicer than me! I'd scratch all their eyes out-male or female! Thena again, I am a very jealous person, much to my DH's amusement sometimes. But I do wonder if it was a woman, would she be as admired as LJG?? -- Rollaine, 08:43:01 01/23/08 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> See, I'm not talking about real life. In real life, anyone had better not step on my toes. I'm not nice at all in that regards. I'm just talking about a fictional woman that we might have grown to like in the story (similar to LJ) and how we would perceive her acting up now and again with Claire. This has nothing to do with my real life, whatsoever. Being a scorpio myself, I have a verra deadly sting when attacked, just like you. -- Conmama, 09:31:31 01/23/08 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> I'm a Sagittarius. Not sure what I'm suppposed to be! Personally, I don't know if I would be accepting of a LJG female character. I guess its simply that I insert my own feelings and expereinces when I read. -- Rollaine, 10:19:46 01/23/08 Wed
