So over the weekend I started watching Poldark season 3 (season 4 airs in the US near the end of September) and...help me, I have become Drake x Morwenna trash
If you’re like me, and love a good cross-class couple, then you’ll love these two:
He’s a Methodist working-class miner who later becomes the local blacksmith; he’s sweet and kind, flirtatious but respectful.
He picks her wildflowers and catches toads just to make her laugh and smile. He is head over heels for her from day one, learns how to read and write so he can keep in touch with her when she goes on holiday, and promises to make something of himself to be worthy of her...
...BUT HE’S ALREADY WORTHY IN HER EYES! She’s gentry-born, well educated, and is expected to make a “proper match” someday. But Drake is what is proper, even if society doesn’t see it that way.
She sneaks to the beach to see him, they run barefoot through the sand, he gives her a sea-shell bracelet to which she responds it’s the most valuable piece of jewelry she will ever possess!
UGH, and the ANGST!!!!! So much angst for these two...
If you love Sybil x Tom, I really think you’ll also love Drake x Morwenna. Heck, if you simply love star-crossed, cross-class romances, then I know you’ll love Drake x Morwenna. And when it comes to the angst, just HANG IN THERE! That’s all I’ll say.
These two. I blame @cassiemortmain ;oP
