English Gothic: Chapter 2

In the second chapter, we meet Brenda and Tony. They are a married couple in an out of style English gothic house. They both don't like the fact that Beaver is staying with them so they try very hard to get him to never come back. Brenda is characterized a lot, I think, like the character Daisy in The Great Gatsby.

She's a social butterfly. However she acts like she adores you but on the side, she might hate you. Daisy's character in The Great Gatsby, is feeble and weak. Brenda is also like that in some ways. She listens to the orders of her husband but she is very bored with the lifestyle he has provided her with. Which is similar to why Daisy in The Great Gatsby to stray away from her husband to Gatsby's new and exotic lifestyle of parties. She states that she hates the house she lives in with Tony but she bears with it because she knows how much Tony adores the house which he has grew up in.

Now I'm on chapter 3.

A Handful of Dust

I'm currently reading "A Handful of Dust" by Evelyn Waugh [copyrighted in1934 originally]. This book summary is about the English life where it generally talks about a marriage where the wife is bored with her marriage who becomes a social parasite.

In the first chapter it is mainly focused on Beaver. He is from a well known family although he isn't rich. He isn't very well liked either.
