Mrs Tilney's unhappiness Written by Linden (4/22/2003 5:57 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: Understanding General Tilney, penned by Linda Fern

Thank you so much for your insightful posts about General Tilney. One difference between then and now is that someone like GT -- rich, landed and male -- found it much easier to get away with his tyranny than he would now. You managed to separate from your GT: Mrs Tilney could not.

On the other hand, she did have a huge great former abbey and its grounds to find secluded walks. Pity those women who were married to a GT in a small, cramped house.
