I suppose so Written by JoAnn (3/20/2009 10:06 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Why call him a villain?, penned by Tom P2

but I just can't like him. And he certainly shares features with the classic gothic villain, as has been discussed earlier on the board. I just don't think this bodes well for where this character is going.

Some thoughts on General Tilney MarianneR (3/18/2009 7:28 a.m.)

The General's duplicitousness... again JoAnn (3/20/2009 2:21 a.m.)
- Why call him a villain? Tom P2 (3/20/2009 3:09 a.m.)
  - I suppose so JoAnn (3/20/2009 10:06 a.m.)
General T is a "man's man" Karen G (3/19/2009 4:36 p.m.)
- I got the opposite impression about the library. nan duval (3/19/2009 5:50 p.m.)
  - Right, the General is unable to appreciate what he has TimLee (3/19/2009 6:03 p.m.)
    - Not necessarily Tom P2 (3/19/2009 7:24 p.m.)
      - This is how I read this, too. MarianneR (3/20/2009 4:12 a.m.)
      - I agree strongly with Tom P2. nfm   Diane N. (3/19/2009 9:56 p.m.)
        
        OK, but why?   TimLee (3/19/2009 11:09 p.m.)
        
        Here goes.   Diane N. (3/21/2009 2:08 p.m.)
        
        I totally agree.   nan duval (3/21/2009 10:12 p.m.)
        
        Agreed, Diane certainly said it better than I also (nfm)   TimLee (3/22/2009 12:18 a.m.)
        
        Thanks, that was interesting and insightful   TimLee (3/21/2009 9:22 p.m.)
      - The General may be prideful, but ... TimLee (3/19/2009 7:44 p.m.)
        
        irony? Karen G. (3/19/2009 8:38 p.m.)
- Well, he's certainly Thorpe's kind of guy! TimLee (3/19/2009 5:45 p.m.)
  - Great link! Quite shocking - but so suitable. Thank you *nfm* MarianneR (3/20/2009 3:57 a.m.)

    - Really? I can TimLee (3/20/2009 11:49 a.m.)
      - Who really won the alleged game of billiards, anyway?   Tom P2 (3/20/2009 7:42 p.m.)
        
        I see your point about Bedford...   Diane N. (3/21/2009 2:14 p.m.)
        
        Well, John Thorpe does know the General...   Line (3/21/2009 10:25 a.m.)
        
        The Bloviator vs. The Dementor!   TimLee (3/20/2009 8:03 p.m.)
        
        LOL -- We're all enjoying that word, Tim; thanks! (nfm)   Cathy Allen (3/20/2009 8:13 p.m.)
