And that when Byron posts the ghost, he's like, right, we're all going to write a ghost story.

She writes to someone saying like, oh, every morning I have to mortify myself that I have to say I don't have an idea yet.

so everyone else has got an idea Byron started the physician has started Percy started and every morning she has to come to breakfast with these people and they're like oh Mary have you got yours she's like oh no not yet and you're like she was fucking 18 and I just I just feel like

Maybe it's reading too much into it.

But I feel like you can really, I can very much relate to that.

And then there's something about writing a man like that.

So I think you're right.

The women aren't great, but she does understand what it's like to stand next to a man going on about something.

For sure.

of the last two centuries yeah and the fact I guess you know like Jane Austen it's like it's constantly being adapted the fact that Gilly Vittore has just done this version of it apparently it's been his life's obsession so is there a thing at the moment I mean obviously there's like books being adaptations but like classics it does feel like there's suddenly a slew of them there's a big thing about IP isn't there at the moment and that definitely studios are obsessed with like sorry it just turned into the rest of this entertainment there's a big thing about let me explain to you how Warner Brothers are working but there's a big thing of like

Because there's so much content, because people are overwhelmed, if you have something that people know, then you've already got 10% of their attention.

And because no one has any attention, it's like if I say Frankenstein or Pride and Prejudice, it's like, oh, great.

So they're all going back through all of their IP, which is why something like Batman is on its 20th film, which I still find like... And someone will correct me.

And The Hangover only got three.

I need a baby.

I think so.

well except for Elizabeth I think it's a different I'm sorry don't get me sucked the fucking Elizabeth storyline that's crazy he gives her a leaf and she's like leaf this is leaf and then later you see she's got a little leaf in her book and I was like they met once and he was a hot man the monster she's in love with the monster she's immediately like stroking his chest it's really bizarre it's really fucking weird and he gives her a leaf and then she's like honestly it's Manic Pixie June girl I said they should have given them a bowl of spaghetti to just

instead they got this little leaf like and then later on she basically Victor is like why won't you marry me she's like I've made my choice even though she's not in love with her brother at all and you see she's kept the leaf that like she's like he's innocent he's so innocent and pure and it's like and he's fit he's fitter than the other men around you Elizabeth but she's quite macabre she is fascinated by

Oh, Pascoe.

She's always straddling the line between sex, death and life.
