Chapter 15Very little to say, honestly, except I'm ready to be done with the play stuff. Different era, different social mores, I get that, but understanding doesn't help me enjoy it any better.
I like and sympathize with Fanny, but I am pretty much done with Edmund. His willful emotional blindness, his pestering of Fanny for her approval... He irks me. As a human being. He's a very well written, realistic, developed human being, and one that I find I do not like.
Sigh.
Strangely enough, the way Edmund is described at the beginning made him sound really likeable in an atypical way. But Edmund's behavior as the novel continues is irritating.
At least the play will be wrapped up in the next three to four chapters, and then there will only be a few more before the second half of the book! I don't hate the first half anymore, but I look forward to the part where it really picked up for me.
