I just can't stand Bess, because she was a liar and used people (sleeping with her friend's husband, ugh!)and it just makes me mad! You think that he loved Bess early in their relationship, I can see that but it seemed almost like whether he loved Bess (and how much at that), he had more feelings for Georgiana and he just couldn't let Georgiana go out of his mind in that regard. It's hard to explain what I mean but it's like he cared for Bess but Georgiana held more of his heart than Bess ever could but because he felt like he had to be in control, he wouldn't let himself be taken as a whole, if you get what i mean. What do you think? I think as well that toward the end, it was more of a fondness for Bess because of everything that has happened in his and hers and Georgiana's life, than love and it was more Georgiana that had his love (not Bess) after everything.<br /><br />Thank you so much for discussing this with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-29243888576315411892010-05-13T20:30:18.920-04:002010-05-13T20:30:18.920-04:00You will LOVE the book!

In the movie, It indicates that Georgiana thought that Canis loved Bess early on, do you think he ever did, or did he always have more of an affection for Georgiana and his relationship with Bess was more that he thought he needed another woman and Bess (being a tart) used that power over him?<br />I am about to read the book and I have been trying to find info on what really happened in her life, that's why this site is great!

They had been married for almost 30 years so even though the marriage was rocky the Duke was losing his long time companion. The movie took lots of liberties with Georgiana's story. I thought they portrayed the Duke's personality correctly but vilified him more than they needed to. <br /><br />When Bess forced a marriage upon the Duke he was an old man who was a skeleton of his former self. He had lost any real passion for life. The truth is, when Georgiana retired from the spotlight and stayed more at home, she was finally the type of wife Canis had always been looking for. I think he wanted someone to spend solitary hours by the fire with his dogs with him, and Georgiana became that person toward the end of her life.Heather Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544318718074061879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-4573501865128550602010-05-13T01:46:56.767-04:002010-05-13T01:46:56.767-04:00You stated that the Duke never fully recovered aft...You stated that the Duke never fully recovered after Georgiana's death. Do you think that toward the end he started to love her the way she had always wanted, or had he "in his way" (as stated in the movie) always loved her but just didn't show it, and when she died, he was consumed with guilt about everything he did to her? Some say that he loved Bess more than his wife, I don't, especially since she forced him to marry her in the end. I don't think that he would have married Bess if she hadn't of forced him especially if he never got over Georgiana's death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-33298234660054162222010-04-06T19:08:08.166-04:002010-04-06T19:08:08.166-04:00You must grab a copy!
