Is Penelope Featherington An AntiHero? : A Bridgerton Video Essay / Part 1 

It’s funny to think of Pen as the anti hero given Colin’s hero complex 😂

This was my first watching a video of yours, and I loved the content and the background music! So cozy ❤

I love the way you summarized things! I have no idea what's going on cause I've never watched the show, but this was a fun watch. Absolutely adore the Bridgerton-inspired outfit :)

Ahh, this was so great, so well done, such a great breakdown of Penelope! Can't wait for part 2.

Colin does not love Marina. He is attracted to her. Marina engages his hero complex from his dad’s death trauma. He also thinks it gives him purpose. After her ruin, He feels guilt for how he and his family treated her. I think he was still young and confusing what is love. He liked her and I believe he would have supported her and her child but we are supposed to believe that Colin is driven by being able to make people happy. He was so worried he offended Marina by rejecting her kiss that he proposes.

This was an interesting take on Pen’s character! Can’t wait for part 2! Will you be doing other characters too?

Such a good video!! I can't wait to watch more 💜

Such a great breakdown of the character, will be waiting for part 2. Delacroix

Very insightful. Only divergence of opinions is: 1. I don't think Marina is in love with Colin. She manipulates and schemes too much. I don't think she even likes Colin. As a stronger character I don't think she would have respected him enough and their marriage would have been miserable for both. 2. Eloise is not a very nice friend to Pen. Eloise does all the talking, and doesn't really listen to Pen, or she would know that. Unfortunately Season 3 doesn't provide more clarity for any of these questions. You proved very insightful with regard to Pen and her Mum, which I thought was well done in Season 3. Luckily I have read the books, so I still have my favourite book (the fourth - Romancing Mr Bridgerton) where Colin and Pen fall in love with a very different storyline (thank goodness), and grabbing bits from the book and trying to stuff it into the fake story is where Season 3 goes wrong.

Part 2 when 👀

Pish posh applesauce - yes - subbed

Please do one on Cressida!

Omg everything you said is golden! Pen is such a complex character. I love the way you broke the character down. Her selfishness is quite under emphasized because she is generally liked: - writing that your friend is hanging out with political radicals saves her from being suspected as whistledown but puts her in a different far worse kind of trouble. - you can’t stand to lose the man you love to Marina but you make your friend lose the man she loves. - she said the queen would not believe her if she outed herself and I think that’s her trying to cop out. She was on the queen’s suspect list for who whistledown could be and if she proved to the queen she was whistledown, the queen would believe. In season 3 when someone pretends to be whistledown, she makes the queen see that she is whistledown because she doesn’t want someone else getting credit for her work. That shows me that what she did to Eloise was simply a choice to protect her alter ego at the expense of her loyal friend. In season 3 even though Colin tries to explain that she misunderstood what he said, she impulsively writes negative things about him. In season 1 when Daphne is struggling to find suitors, she basically claims that she’s not good enough and Daphne fears being ruined by that writing. She herself knows how fickle the reputation of a woman can be, you’d think she would be kinder. - she drives a working woman out of business so she could woo Delacroix. - she gets extremely self unaware and self righteous about how cruel she is. She forgets she can be many things at once, nice, warm, intelligent, witty, yet cunning, disloyal, cruel and selfish

You lost me at around 2:32 :(
