[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: why couldn’t Anthony and Kate get together from the beginning? If he liked her, why didn’t he pursue her? It wasn’t until later that her sister was appointed as the jewel of the season - forgetting the official title. [/quote]

Yes, plus, Kate is "on the shelf". In the book you know the mother isn't her real mother, but stepmother, which means she is not of noble birth and therefore less (if at all) acceptable. Edwina's mother is from a noble family, which makes her more acceptable to begin with.[/quote]

NP and I got all of these plot points but then why was Kate allowed to take so much control of Edwina’s courtships? Why wasn’t her mother or Lady Danbury in charge?  That’s what made me really dislike Kate.

That and the old trope of ‘I hate you when we first meet because I overheard you say sexist things’ to ‘now I love you’.  It’s so overdone.  But I find them both attractive.  But Kate’s so boring.[/quote]

The Viscount Who Loves Me was the only one of the books that I liked. In the book, Edwina doesn't really love the Duke, she wants something different, but she feels obligated to "save" her mother and sister by marrying the Duke. Kate wants true love for her sister, so she is protecting her by helping her NOT marry out of obligation. The Duke (in the book) is too much for the sister, who was very gentle and wanting a more gentle husband.

The scene in the show were she is overwhelmed in the Pall Mall game, speaks to that, but then in the series she very much wants him. This makes so much of the series not make sense, and makes Kate seem awful. I think this is a case of taking some popular elements of the book and not really understanding the trope well enough to change it and make it make sense. [/quote]
