Unhinged pinterest conversation with someone who is not in the hannibal Fandom. I think I nailed my hannibal impression.

#Napoleon is in cinemas now but Ross and Demelza Poldark had their own mighty Napoleon adventure when Ross was sent to Paris to report back to the British government on French political sentiment and they got caught up in the attempted take over.

Weird request for Poldark fans:

Does anyone here own the saga (all 12 books) on an e-reading device, and if so, would you be willing to search a word for me, and tell me the book/chapter it's in? It's not a word I think Graham uses regularly, or throughout the saga. The word is 'spawn.' I seem to remember it being in there, but can't begin to remember where.

It's been a while since I read the saga, and I only own the books on paper, so doing this manually would be a daunting task.

Anyone up for a word search?

Please and Thanks!

Robin Ellis (Ross Poldark) has shared on his Facebook page that the original Poldark aired for the first time on October 5th, 1975.

He writes:

"...We had no idea that it would catch on as it did...With fond memories of a wonderful cast who were like a great, extended family. Thinking especially of those no longer with us: Angharad Rees, Ralph Bates, Richard Morant, Paul Curran, Mary Wimbush, Frank Middlemass, Forbes Collins - and of course, Winston Graham himself, and his wife Jean..."

Poldark ran for 29 episodes over two series on the BBC. Its audience peaked at 15 million, was sold to over forty countries, and it became the biggest selling costume drama on video until Pride and Prejudice (1995).

Robin Ellis (Ross Poldark) and Angharad Rees (1944-2012) who played Demelza, interviewed for the series' 25th anniversary

I think the reason Winston stays so close to Will/always went back home while Will was in prison, is because of his previous owner. Winston had a rope chain around his neck when Will found him. I like to think his previous owner wasn't that loving. Not abusive or anything. But more of a "no dogs in the house" type of guy.

This could explain why he was so dirty when Will found him, he was always outside.

I think Winston was a chained dog. Then, he finally gets untied from the post he was chained to, and ran. And that's the first time Will found him. Winston didn't go to Will because Winston was going back home.

But when he returned, no one was there. They left without him.

So he goes back to the same road, and Will is there, waiting for him. Winston sees that he nice and has food, and willing goes home with Will.

He sees how different his life with Will is compared to his previous family: he's allowed inside, there are other dogs, cozy sleeping places, etc. Most importantly, Will is a good owner and Winston doesn't want to lose him.

That's why he stays so close to Will.

In Poldark, why could Ross never see the real devious character of Elizabeth, the deceitful, manipulative, cruel side of her character especially the way she played with his emotions, the way she used Francis and Morwenna. Also why could he not see that his obsession with her was causing so much pain to Demelza for years in their marriage. Why was an otherwise intelligent man so deluded and blind?

Hi @Anonymous and thanks for the ask. I’m going to guess that you have sent me this twice since this and one I got a few weeks ago are both very similar–hopefully one answer will suffice.

I haven't been ignoring you, just mulling it all over. And doing so has made me realize I need to re read the books, so I’m really going from memory and impression here and might be wrong on some things. 

Maybe the answer to these questions lies in human nature and in WG’s skillful writing?

Of course we all have multiple sides to ourselves, good and bad, and sometimes people who love us or even just like us, don’t see the bad or at least don't dwell on it (thank goodness). But it can also be frustrating when someone we are close to doesn't see the bad in someone else when we know it is there. Perhaps you have a friend who is friends with someone insufferable? It's hard to take, isn’t it? I think that was the case with Ross–he largely focused on Elizabeth’s positive characteristics (she had some but don’t ask me to enumerate). I also think post his initial infatuation with her, Ross was mostly taken in by Elizabeth when she was frail and needed assistance, as was the case after Francis died. Ross could never resist being the hero and that made him feel better about himself–and was an allure. And Demelza knew that about both of them, sharp little thing that she was.

As far as how this obsession/preoccupation caused Demelza pain, I’m not sure it did remain an obsession throughout their entire marriage. A concern for sure, but not an obsession after the May 9th event. I think Ross learned that he did things that caused Demelza pain and was more careful about what he said and did around her when it involved Elizabeth, though perhaps his efforts were not always successful. At least that is my recollection of how things transpired in the books.

So it comes down to skillful writing. Graham seems to know a lot about human nature (or at least human weaknesses) and his characters are complex in their motivations and therefore their relationships with one another are complex as well. 

And there is a lot about Elizabeth that we as readers are privy to that Ross isn’t. We can assume he was never aware how Elizabeth spoke ill of Demelza to Francis (she referred to Demelza as Ross’s “beggar girl”), and I’m not sure how much he knew about her involvement in pressuring Morwenna to marry or if he just put that to George (now I have to reread Black Moon & Four Swans to check this). Even though it is frustrating to us readers because we see Elizabeth for what she really is, this irony creates an interesting tension when she pops in and out of the frame. 

Lastly, I’m certainly no Elizabeth apologist, but I do wonder if the lion’s share of her deception–at least until 1795 or so–was to herself?

Anyway, I ramble...thanks for asking me. And I suppose if you were referring to the actions and motivations of Ross from the series, then I haven't addressed your question at all.

'He was struck by the mystery of her personality ...that this hair and head and person of the young woman below it....meant more to him than any other because it made up in some mysterious way just that key which unlocked his attention and desire and love."
