The ant-hero (one cannot call him a hero, he was an utter fool, suffered from a total lack of trust and jealousy amounting to the level of paranoia. The heroine was seriously lacking in wisdom.

I have known you for a long time Anna, and I know that you are a sensible, caring, and wise person. I can see that it is absolutely possible that you might have nothing to learn from this book, however, I cannot but believe that some of today's failed marriages could have been saved, and future ones might be, if the parties involved could take Trollope's understanding of relationships to heart and open their own hearts to meeting one another's needs rather than their own.

Let's face it, the majority of society has neither your level of intelligence or education and is operating at a far lower level. Personally, since cancer treatment (good old tamoxifen and it's dementia side effects) I find Trollope an enjoyable read for relaxation. The possibility of further expanding my mind now being lost to me, I can only thank God that it has ceased to shrink!(less)
