Subject: Well, I think we all do that to some degree- bring our own experiences/feelings to our reading and that's why we are such devoted readers, we get into it. That's why I obsess over Isobel so much more than everyone else. I have a friend who was married to a man for 16 years who after their second child basically stopped having sex with her- it happened once a year. He won't admit it but she now believes he's gay. Well, those years were very hard on her- she tried everything and ended up thinking it was her- she was so skinny, had gotten braces, plastic surgery- and she was very pretty to begin with. I thought of her and cringed when John told Jamie he "could do the deed." I had always liked John and I still do but that irked me. It just didn't seem fair to her. Not that we're always fair, but I don't see this action as somehow great and noble. Running out with his sword to protect Claire- that almost evened the score. *g*
In reply to: Rollaine 's message, "No, your post was not at all rude! I do hope you are feeling OK?? It wasn't our responses that did it-was it?? I never felt that John had perverted intentions of any sort towards Willie-never even gave it thought. But I agree with you an susiej, it was not selfless and he did it out of his love for Jamie. Me, I know that I would be jealous of anyone who I know was so in love with my DH. I find it odd that people would not understand Claire's jealousy-even if there is no chance of any relationship. But Jamie & John are friends and do share a specail bond through Willie. I would find it quite disconcerting to have this person in his life and raising his child. A son no less, in a time when I think we can agree more value was placed on sons. I always thought that got under Claire's skin a bit. But, that could be me projecting my own feelings again. I have a nasty habit of doing that!" on 13:47:06 02/04/08 Mon
